It would make it easier to explain why bug #157361 is a dupe of #1343 though. 
Assuming that still isn't clear to you?

You do know that eix is not related to portage in any way? Anyway, can you 
explain to me how this feature would help you at all. I really don't 
understand the use case for it.

Jakub is handling a lot of bugs so obviously he does make mistakes 
occasionally. I don't think he makes that many of them but arguably he should 
have reassigned #165709 to dev-portage@ and let them handle it. Do note that 
Jakub is a bug-wrangler not a maintainer.

That's your decision then.
