That is a very good point. But being that it's a very good point it
obviously never occurred to me that it shouldn't be spelled out in the
metadata. Is there a policy for this as well that I am unaware of? A
quick "site:devmanual.gentoo.org proxy" search indicates no
documentation of this at all.

http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/proxy-maintainers/index.xml?style=printable

This page exists, but doesn't really mention anything about proper bug
assignment. I know a lot of you have been doing this a very long time
and there is a 'standard' way of doing things, but for us new guys if
there is no documentation there is no policy.
