Keeping a list and periodically going through it seems fine to me. Are
you or someone else interested in joining devrel to get this implemented
and maintained? The policy should probably be written as a GLEP and I
can help with that but until GSoC is over I am pretty much fully booked
for Gentoo time so I would like to avoid championing it at this point.
