If you start moving maintainer-needed package on Sunrise then Sunrise will end up as a garbage collector overlay having many many ebuilds that nobody will actually maintain. If you care about maintainer-needed package then step up and proxy maintain it. The delay ( which is not that big if you cooperate with an active developer/herd ) might be a drawback but still... I don't want sunrise to become a place where abandoned ebuilds will end up.
