Volunteer to pick up part of the load, I guess - something that I, as a
newbie, am reluctant to do - but I guess I will if filezilla continues
to languish.
There is indeed an issue; e.g. TOR, a popular desktop package, is a
release behind; Vidalia, is two releases behind - one a security
release. Probably this is the consequence of a busy maintainer, but
you'd think someone would pick up the slack (and yes, I've already filed
a bugzilla security report on Vidalia).
OTOH, the good news is that a newbie like me can install an outdated
package (e.g. Vidalia); resolve dependencies; uninstall the portage
version; download and compile the current version from the developer.

Let me in on that. What can I do too?
