All:
(Apologies if you get this twice. I never saw my initial send of the
message hit the mailing list)
Sending this here before I send to the gentoo-dev list. Below is the
list of packages that are managed by the tools-portage herd and their
maintainer (if any). I know we have several packages in the herd that
are not being maintained and I would like to either get a maintainer or
last rite the package. I've included comments on what I know about the
packages.

I used to maintain this; but I don't see a compelling reason to use it
over eix, so I recommend removal.

I will fix bugs in the script if someone does the ebuild work or proxies for me.

FWIW, I use esearch (heh, just looked up eix with it). I have it
embedded in my update script as well, to update its database, and have a
few front-ends for it (ehome being the most used), which return just the
specified data.
So switching to eix if esearch is treecleaned wouldn't be entirely
painless, but it shouldn't be overly painful, either.

Don't worry, It's not getting treecleaned. Especially after we just did
a bunch of work on it to bring it up to date. Fuzzyray prefers it over
eix for one. And is why it was updated. Personally I don't use it
much, I tend to use porthole for searching. Even though I have eix
installed, I rarely use it, just usually for some testing.
If your scripts are python based instead of bash based. Like most
everything I get working on, I've modularized all the code, so it has a
good usable/import-able api for embedding into other scripts. No need
to parse output. I also added layman syncing to it, both by importing
my new layman api or by subprocessing it for older layman versions.

Bash based. I keep thinking I'll learn python one of these days, but
never seem to get the properly curved tuit. =:^\
But many are trivial front-ends anyway:
$ cat `which ehome`
#!/bin/bash
# esearch, output package and homepage only
exec esearch -o%p\\n%h\\n\\n $*
FWIW I've a whole slew of emerge front-ends too, ea* for emerge --ask, ep*
for emerge --pretend. Example: eas for emerge --ask @system (it also
feeds --update --deep --newuse --jobs=X --load-average=Y to it). And I
extended gentoo's bash-completion scripts and reapplied them, so I still
get tab-completion for package names, etc. I just don't have to feed in
the long string of options I'd normally need to get the intended effect;
they're all 2-4 letter commands starting with ea or ep, so tab-
completable on their own. =:^)

Based upon all of the responses, this is the list of completely
unmaintained packages managed by tools-portage. If no one objects, I
will send this list to gentoo-dev in a few days asking for maintainers
or they will be last rited.
app-portage/deltup
app-portage/epm
app-portage/maintainer-helper
app-portage/splat
app-portage/ufed

Paul
