While stable requests should indeed be handled by the package maintainer, keyword requests can be handled by bug wranglers. The policy is documented in <http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/bug-wranglers/>: # * A keyword request should be assigned to the package's maintainer # and CC'd to the appropriate arch team(s). The report's Keywords # field should contain the KEYWORDREQ keyword. # # * A stabilisation request should be handled by the package's # maintainer, so you should not CC arch teams in your role as bug # wrangler, nor set the STABLEREQ keyword in the Keywords field. # Unless the package is maintainer-needed, then you should add # arches and set the Keyword field if the bug makes sense.
