There is a site (http://gentoo.tamperd.net/stable/index.php) that lets 
us find outdated unstable keywords and mark them stable.

Things in ~arch have to be left there for at least a couple weeks to 
make sure problems don't crop up -- generally, the thing is that we know 
it works if there are no negative bug reports, and so "it works" bug 
reports are only useful on alternate architectures (if you're testing 
stuff on AMD64 that's marked unstable for an extended period of time 
despite being stable on other architectures, a bug report informing us 
of the fact is very handy)
