I think a could help with migration and version bumps, lets say a few
ebuilds a week, but at the beginning I would need a senior developer to
review my ebuilds to catch my bad style etc. I've already sent some
migrated ebuilds from java-experimental-overlay to Joshua a week ago but
I've received no feedback yet nor they appeared in the
migrated-java-experimental-overlay.

I would also appreciate more information on Java ebuilds development. I
don't remember I've seen somewhere slotting "howto" for Java ebuilds,
but I may miss something.
