I'm also very busy lately, but the idea is to fix the existing bugs and then add new packages, and the overlay is a great place to put all our work, it is really easy for us to test the work of others, and, with some luck, users will use the overlay and thus test even more the ebuilds before being in portage, improving the quality of the stable ebuilds.
