We'd run the software that powers repo.or.cz probably if we were going
to do that.

I've got no objection to it, we just need to see about keeping the
noise/spam down if we do open it like that.

Even if we did that, we'd need a couple more people on the overlays

More developers willing to learn the bits needed to process Git overlay
requests are welcome to contact the alias, overlays@gentoo.org
