I'm not a developer (I've completed the ebuild quiz and heroxbd is supposed to be getting back to me), but I'm interested in helping maintain games. I have a decent number of Humble Bundle games that I'd love to see make it into Portage, and I could assist in testing some games. I recently filed a bug [1] to version bump Rochard and fix a README filename and it's available on my own overlay [2] as well. Not to brag or anything, but if I make developer status I'd gladly become part of the games team.
