If it would have special blessing, it would be documented in one of the
Council logs and/or summaries; that is about the only way it can receive
it, apart from a large scale thread showing the same wide agreement.

Ironically; my first Portage tree action "add a directory" got a "don't
throw [expletive] into [games category]" reply, before adding the ebuild.

One really can't expect new people to start to address a team like
that prior to addition; I've assumed for some time that contacting the
teams is a necessity before addition of an ebuild, but that quickly
turned out to be false for most if not all other teams.
