your comments re Blackbox & the other  5  packages in question
continue to be quite at odds with the reality of Gentoo bug listings.

there's  1  open bug for Blackbox itself, in no way critical;
there are also  2  announcements listed as 'new'.
there's  1  open bug for Bbkeys, rather trivial.
there is  1  'new' bug each for Bbconf & Openbox-utils,
but they also appear to be announcements & anyway concern PPC & AMD64.
there are no open bugs for Bbpager & Bbrun.

there is no basis whatsoever in Gentoo bug listings for your rants.
i do understand if you are simply not interested & feel overworked,
but these  6  packages all seem to be well-maintained upstream
& need very little attention from Gentoo developers.

i hope another qualified developer is willing to take them on.
i would be willing to donate my own time, if i have the knowledge,
but according to your account it takes more hoop-jumping than that.

    segmentation violation when I set the Toolbar to be `Always on top'.

    Currently these all work fine on ppc64.
    However, they have to be compiled with gcc 3.3
    as they are broken with 3.4 [that bug fixed 041230].

bbrun

    New ebuild for bbrun 1.6 (gtk 2.2+)
    [small problem w arrow keys fixed 050108].

    Compiled this under portage-2.0.51_pre20 using autoconf-2.59-r4
    and automake-1.85-r1. Compiled clean.
    I have been running this for a few days with no problems.
