I like Thilo's suggestion -- modified a bit and with the caveat that such=

a page is actually created, with some generic details explaining that no=20
other homepage could be found and how Gentoo handles such cases (a link=20

it could save a LOT of trouble if someone makes a mistake...), and=20
encouraging anyone who comes across a homepage for such a package to bug=20
it.
The modification bit would be to make it a new page on an existing=20
subdomain. Something like this: http://www.gentoo.org/no-homepage.xml
It could be made per-project or the like, too, but that makes it more=20
difficult to auto-detect, for anyone/anything that desires to.
