[Hmm... Was followup not set? It tried to post to the announce list too! That's a no-no for replies! Luckily gmane has it set read-only so my news client gave me a warning.] So you mention openrc, but don't have it on the list? FWIW, I've not looked, but I think a number of the portage helpers are non-gentoo-dev developed, and certainly a number previously were, that have ultimately been folded back into portage and/or gentoolkit in someway or another now. I'm sure someone from one of those projects can list several of them without even looking. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
