Now that's the spirit! At one time the hints were maintained by someone here
on the list, and there was a guide for writing hints. Or you could try
submitting patches to the BLFS book for a games chapter. I've noticed that
the hints tend to get dated quickly. Someone writes a hint based on the
latest version of LFS and BLFS at the time, and then the project moves on and
the hint doesn't get updated to match.
The BLFS book seems to be better maintained, in that respect. But then it's a
much larger effort with more contributors then maintaining the hints.
Cheers,
John Gay
