Maybe I shouldn't do this just yet. I need to figure out whether the box in question gets its stunnel from gentoo or some other distribution (it has a severe multiple personality disorder). If I take on maintainer-ship and it turns out I don't actually use the ebuild in-house, dereliction of duty on my part is almost an inevitability. On the other hand, if I am relying on the ebuild, I'll almost certainly want to proxy-maintain, once I get my hardware issues sorted out. There'd be no problem resurrecting it from the grave, if need be, would there? -gmt
