That's because he is retired, according to

I'm not entirely sure what the problem is that you're trying to report.
If you want to use phpBB yourself, then you need to follow the
instructions from "emerge phpBB" and see the MASKED PACKAGES section of
the emerge man page. However, you must be prepared to accept that phpBB
has a dubious security history and requires extra care and attention to
prevent your server being compromised.

If you look at http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/forums/index.xml#doc_chap4
you'll see that the 3-man Forums Infrastructure Subproject is
responsible for maintaining the MySQL database and the phpBB instance
that powers forums.gentoo.org . The underlying server is presumably
maintained and secured by the Infrastructure team
(http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/infrastructure/index.xml), which includes
some of our most experienced developers.

FYI, an easier way of doing this is:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ emerge --info | fgrep Timestamp
Timestamp of tree: Thu, 22 Nov 2007 15:46:01 +0000
