As someone who did some user contribution to Sunrise, I never really liked it, and I think it was a terrible way to introduce people to the dev side of Gentoo. That workflow just plain sucked, and the "better QA standards" really just amounted to nitpicking trivial issues. I am very glad we are giving people an easier way to contribute these days.
