Sure, at least for ppc teams I guess we could get it discussed by the Council as blueness is in ppc teams per: https://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/metastructure/herds/herds.xml#doc_chap89 Not sure about the other team members :/, I also see no one listed as lead: https://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/ppc/ For the other arch teams I guess I can start a new thread for them (in summary, pointing them to this thread for the idea but suggesting them to create the lists of packages to keep stable as they prefer). You are probably not seeing so much escalation because we end up relying on ago and zlogene to fix that... but that is not a long term solution. I am mostly thinking on ia64 and sparc. Alpha looks to have recently fixed lots of bugs (by klausman I think) and I am unsure about ARM as I guess his problem is different (it's due they needing to test on many different machines to get things stabilized, and that probably needs a different discussion before :/)
