Turns out we already wrote this down. See "Touching other developers ebuilds": http://devmanual.gentoo.org/ebuild-writing/ebuild-maintenance/index.html "Otherwise a soft limit of 2 to 4 weeks depending on the severity of the bug is an acceptable time frame before you go ahead and fix it yourself." -- Thanks, Donnie Donnie Berkholz Council Member / Sr. Developer, Gentoo Linux <http://dberkholz.com> Analyst, RedMonk <http://redmonk.com/dberkholz/>
