What it seems like you're doing here is saying more work for the
developers is fine, if it makes things easier for the users. (Developers
will just cvs up, which is likely faster than dealing with a web interface.)
Although that may be nice in concept, in reality developers may have
quite limited time. Most things that detract from the time they spend on
development rather than on searching around and figuring out what to do
makes Gentoo worse. It has yet to be proven that your suggestion would
take more time, but that's the feeling I have.
If one knows how to search bugzilla and understands how maintainers are
indicated, this can be comparably easy already. Something like this
could give you a search:
1. Use herdstat to find the maintainer, if you aren't comfortable with
the metadata.xml files.
$ herdstat --metadata xorg-x11
Package: x11-base/xorg-x11
Herds(1): x11
Maintainers(0): none
Homepage: http://xorg.freedesktop.org/
Description: X11 implementation by X.Org Foundation
2. Search for Enhancement bugs assigned to that herd/maintainer in
Bugzilla. In this case, it would be bugs assigned to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
3. Profit!
Thanks,
Donnie
