Given the fact that I consider current Java handling in Gentoo the best I've seen around (be that other Linux distros, Solaris and Windows) I suppose I could help a little too. I guess I could try to fix/revbump some ebuilds, like one or two per weekend, for start. But here I have some important questions: * What is the best way to get from bugs.gentoo.org a list of ebuilds that need to be fixed/revbumped? Could someone post a link with such a prepared query, maybe? * When I have, say, fixed an ebuild, what should I do with it?
