There's like for example an "unofficial" MATE display manager floating around, I think it's mdm in short; I wouldn't care if someone added it to the Portage tree, as long as it isn't given an "official" appearance. It's not like I'll be thoroughly reviewing it as a MATE maintainer... Hence, given I assume my ebuilds are of sufficiently high quality and therefore stable candidates, I rarely contact team leads; for those that are of worse quality, I'll contact them soon enough as I'll probably do need the help and/or review then due to lack of knowledge. That makes me think that it becomes odd when such stable candidates suddenly receive non maintainer commits or removals as I've read here. -- With kind regards, Tom Wijsman (TomWij) Gentoo Developer E-mail address : tom...@gentoo.org GPG Public Key : 6D34E57D GPG Fingerprint : C165 AF18 AB4C 400B C3D2 ABF0 95B2 1FCD 6D34 E57D
