Jitsi is written in java and thus by design buggy, bloated and hard to
maintain.

If you care a lot, you can propose it in sunrise user overlay and I will
accept precompiled java packages there.

Join #gentoo-sunrise and try to avoid random overlays. They have caused
lots of trouble for our users in the past, because there is no one to
review the ebuild most of the time and there is even less protection
against overlays who mess with system packages and thus might break a
LOT of things, partly because they have no idea what they are doing and
partly because they have no access to profiles/ in gx86 and cannot
coordinate any delicate changes.
