Snrise already has such an "extension". A portage-review/ subdirectory,
where ebuilds from the gentoo-x86 + changes can be posted. A dev then takes
those and reviews them to the main tree and removes them again from the dir

The process has worked really good so far. I suggest you to read up on how
this is currently being done on overlays.gentoo.org/proj/sunrise and if you
are interested I invite you to join #gentoo-sunrise to see how it is done.

The current log:
http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/sunrise/log/portage-review

You will notice the regular "in portage", "now reviewed", "in cvs" messages

Best regards,
Stefan
