Stuff assigned to maintainer-wanted has no developer. From what we've seen in the past, most of those ebuilds are pretty unlikely to ever get a developer either. The easiest way to improve those ebuilds' chances of getting into the tree is by getting them up to a good enough standard that whoever picks them up is very unlikely to have to do major extra work on them. | While I can understand your motivation, I'd | like to know if your doing is backed up by at least an informal | decision (didn't follow the threads which resulted in the maintainer* | aliases, etc.), because we have enough whining guys, who don't | understand that our ressources are limited.
