The purpose of Dane's proposal is to push ebuilds to portage tree that you, as developer, have no interest in them at all, but users do. If the proxy-maintainer disappears, you can always leave it portage tree as m-n (assuming no open bugs) or ask treecleaners to remove it. - -- Regards, Markos Chandras / Gentoo Linux Developer / Key ID: B4AFF2C2 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJOAhXlAAoJEPqDWhW0r/LCOqYP/imZLQGdtZwq4NhebiC/lIC5 yjBcXrqTufYh4mthyfwbsb0p/r2DyVuD+8NKZAhs60Ml6fv9PEXKB9O7SlBT/Yvj tlaiFjU+kCUfAcONX/prk5BjmFQZl3G+TFA/E4E6aYn0XpNvvC7ZNgxDeGfrojy5 9D8+l9rX2ZC+dxAYX5hABuUsmFU4I/ysTnAyAA0sBFI0FqmGmRNbAcisE2eqbMXt rDRR0gZthvm1gjw52jAcHIZYEl0NY5MmNvZsuy95mghcLui8WFJFeIDsUFHsYDBA 8RIq6awsnxtNOxjCjiFQSk/9WIB2XxH7IYvgn+8Vm3W4jQIeuvrzkcTNgU5K2sBR Bw7P0W5uMru+V0SEvcD4wiZn3AWviOH/b4rdqR/JRhRFnb3AnwSjOfeLkWmHH0il r7hyVxRSqYI0xycntyXogjUPoTPB8tb+xsPwiX8lNfI5Tejh8CYu+tdYC9uUQfro GjK6Y7XVrpEON5af4IwG4L26qOWgQSAJhF1vcZYXwxEzy96qh41qKtcDsArec+1a Z1v7N+C0j+LNu9HzmtnYvxPRS/msl2rm9XvJkzY2cgexttTL/xf0fOw41iHmyhA/ jJQ2NXbR9lVO42dHRy9eiaDdXA7RO/Rq24pg9Sc4X0ZI5ZUmVNwHb4re+rp9AJdw SBIzbWuRBJnqDc3peGzm =KZsW -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
