perhaps having some proxys of a sort that accept patchs and such from trusted users that would commit fixes to portage would help. similiar to the kernel format that way users can 'commit'/help out quickly without having to go thru the long process of becoming a dev
Users can (and do) attach patches to any bug in bugzilla. When applying such patches, the committing dev hopefully checks the patch and makes sure it's clean, so he already is the kind of proxy you are asking for.
