Hi devs,
I got a request to add Leechcraft (http://leechcraft.org/) to the
portage tree. Leechcraft is modular internet client with many
plugins.
Main problem with it is that it has very few (less than 5, i suppose)
active maintainers, and is needed by very limited amount of users
(mainly friends of project lead). So, i want to use gentoo-dev ML as
tool to 1) advert Leechcraft to larger audience and 2) ask Gentoo
developers and users: is it worth to be in tree?
If there are 5 votes for Leechcraft and no unfixable complaints from
other devs, i will start adding Leechcraft to tree.
Here you can see existing ebuilds and other info:

Contacts of the project lead and supposed package maintaner in gentoo
(with me as proxy): d34df...@jabber.ru (XMPP).
There are no restrictions based on "popularity" of a package being
added to the portage tree. As a matter of fact, if even only you,
yourself, used the package it is still valid to add to the tree provided
someone is adequately maintaining it. You do get that privilege as a
Gentoo Developer - the meta-distro is yours.
