I don't think the problem with maintainer-wanted ebuilds is that they are crappy, but that there is no dev willing to maintain them and ensure their quality over time. 'sunrise' (who came up with that name ? cheap asian poetry attempt) doesn't change that by adding it to an 'official' overlay. Instead of tackling the real problem -the lack of maintainers to deal with all requests- 'sunrise' is trying to create a backdoor for unreliable maintained stuff to enter the tree. - foser
