Hi gang, I just (again) noticed I'm currently the only active developer of the desktop-misc herd, which is going to change as soon as the recruitment process is reopened again. About 80% of all bugs assigned to desktop-misc are new ebuild submissions for software which either falls into no other graphical application herds responsibility or applications that are not wanted by the relevant herds. Which is just fine, I don't want to hear any whining here, it's one of the purposes of the desktop-misc herd.
Anyway, as I've already said I'm the _currently_ the only active herd member and simply cannot take the responsibility of about 100 new packages. Therefor I suggest introducing a new keyword to bugzilla's resolution list, called NEEDMAINTAINER. With this new keyword everyone could compile a list of currently unmaintained packages and just take the ones he likes. Additionally this would be a great opportunity for non-developers for starting their carrier within Gentoo. PS: If I'm repeating my self.. It's 4:30am and I'm awake for 68 hours, so..
