Oh, and just to be clear, this isn't going to be some kind of huge growth. Right now I can count 380 new maintainer-needed packages, from which some will most likely be mapped. I would estimate the final outcome to around 300 packages, maybe less. Now compare that to the current 1212 maintainer-needed packages. -- Best regards, Michał Górny <http://dev.gentoo.org/~mgorny/>
