Have ready the output of 'emerge --info' in a file. Then go to 
bugs.gentoo.org, create an account and log in. Search for existing bugs 
against the ebuild you're interested in, including its version. If there is 
one, you could add yourself to its CC list (top right corner) to be notified 
of changes. Otherwise, create a new bug report, giving as much detail as you 
can. Attach your --info file to the bug.

Job done.
