IRC is not a requirement for working with proxy-maint. It's only
encouraged. I'm fine with most other communication mediums in this
context.

I am currently mentoring someone else and my schedule wouldn't allow a
second person. That being said, I would be happy to be your primary
point of contact and support if you are willing to maintain radeontop.
I think this is a better approach than just reading bunch of docs and
trying to "wing it" with the recruitment application.

Unfortunately, I've assigned that package to another
proxied-maintainer this morning per his maintainership request.

Between proxy-maint, mentors, gentoostats, GSoC, graduate school and
real life issues, devmanual doesn't get the attention it deserves
unfortunately. I'll try to deprioritize proxy-maint and mentors in the
coming months to pay more attention to the others hopefully.

We try to cross-post package-up-for-grabs notifications on this list.
I'm going through inactive proxied-maintainers and retiring them after
a certain timeout, so expect more emails like this in the coming months.
