If there's a way to get a list of the packages he maintained, I'm
willing to look through it and pick up anything I use or am familiar with.

I, too, am no good with charisma and persuasion. We're all volunteers,
so if hasufell isn't getting any satisfaction from Gentoo anymore,
what can we really do? I have a feeling there's a lot more to this
than what lies on the surface, but I doubt anyone should air any
specifics unless hasufell or others are completely okay with it.

Whatever his reasons, if hasufell leaves I hope he can find something
he enjoys. His work in games and discussions on gentoo-dev are part of
what urged me to become a developer. I use his Portage config to use
gentoo.git as my portage tree, too.
