from my perspective it seems as only github.com is used and bugs.gentoo.org is more or less just kept as an official way for ebuild submission to keep a backup mechanism on the own infrastructure. Maybe in a perfect world someone trustworthy could provide a single-sign-on service for bugtrackers and a gitlab instance hosted by gentoo or stuff like that, but the current state is quite confusing, agreed. If you want to take care of your package become a proxied maintainer. If you go a step further later and become a gentoo dev you can also drop some workload from the proxied maintenance team and do you QA yourself and submit directly to the tree. > I would like to ask again for a clarification about this.

A disclaimer in the end: I'm not a Gentoo developer, just another random user who maintains packages.
