A few months ago I spent some time bringing dev-libs/boost up to date because it was blocking some Python issues. Sebastian Luther helped me out (I more or less proxied from his overlay [2]). However, since I have no intrinsic interest in Boost, I have found it hard to find time to keep maintaining it (particularly since it's a pretty large package, and far from my area of expertise). Sebastian also seems slightly less available, though that might be due in part to my lack of interest. In any case, I'm going to remove myself from the maintainer-list. dev-zero is still in there, but AFAICT he hasn't spent any time on it over the past six months or so. If anybody else would like to pick it up (there are a lot of enthousiastic users in bugzilla [1]), that would be swell!
