Wow!. Patrick, you are my hero. I have an old couple of (java-centric)
bugs in bgo that maybe you could take a quick look at the attached
ebuilds and either fix them or send me a guildline how to fix them? Both
have ebuilds attached. But if you can fix them, it'd be trivial to also
get the latest stable release of those cluster centric java
nightmares.... I would not even care if they reside in an overlay
somewhere, as gentoo tree acceptance is often a pilgrimage.
They are very popular codes, just so you know, so you are talking about
becoming gentoo-legend...... I'd even be willing to proxy them after
they are fixed, or with a mentor that knows more about java than I.
(that's not difficult at all).

Publicly or privately, you'd get much more than my gratitude...
(seriously).
I also use euscan frequently (just so you know).
curiously,
James
