(As I mentioned in another post, I did ask for a metabug to help.)
I have other OSS I work on. The "what can I do" question is not relevant
here because I simply can not make the commitment. I posted this questions
as a user, not all users have the time. 
And I'll try to repeat: I'm not whining, I'm just asking for a reason. I did
not know that some developpers left recently and now I understand the
situation. I did not know Gentoo had those problems. 

So my suggestions:
- Document the use of ~arch better. It seems to me that the arch tree is
more stable now and that the idea of ~arch which was very broken years ago
is now more stable. (I'm a user since 1.4rc3)
- Open more metabugs that document the requirements of stabilization for the
largest packages. Report about that policy to all users and actively ask
them to cooperate there.
