Not out of line on the topic/content, but try to avoid sending 3MB
attachments to hundreds (thousands?) of people.

Unlike other distros where there's usually one version of a given
package (with the history being available in archives elsewhere), we
sometimes have dozens of available versions for a single package. When
new EAPIs come along, devs will usually improve their ebuilds when new
upstream versions are released and leave old ebuilds as-is (especially
if said ebuilds have stable keywords).

So while that number looks impressive, you need to factor in which
packages have ebuilds that use newer EAPIs. If you do come across
packages that only offer ebuilds written using deprecated EAPIs, then
I'm sure maintainers will accept contributions.

Cheers,

Rémi
