Since Gentoo is a meta Linux distribution (a distribution which is designed to build custom distributions) it contains the tools needed to automate package management and creation including: source code fetching, patching, dependencies, compiler configuration, package maintainer coordination, etc. It also has tools which automatically create CD and DVD images. It might be less effort overall to construct SAGE's package creation system and overall build system on top of something like Gentoo than to do it manually and coordinate everything with trac/wiki.
