Hmm so I guess the message did go through... Sorry for the dupe going through. Got a rejected msg. How is one suppose to "prove" themselves if they aren't allowed to contribute? I've seen several things sit in bugs.gentoo.org with working ebuilds attached from other "unapproved" devs that never make it. So from what I've seen: Volunteer + Ebuild + Willingness to maintain = rejection My question boils down to has this policy changed? It looks like this policy is changing more these days for the better. Just trying to save myself the frustration I've seen others going through. I am actually very serious about this and ramped up to contribute with a test server, test work station and dev machine and gentoo is where I want to put my focus.
