Doesn't look like it. I use this in my make.conf:
PORTAGE_ELOG_SYSTEM="${PORTAGE_ELOG_SYSTEM} echo:qa save:qa"
Probably someone who maintains developer profiles (if such a person
exists) can add something like that there after testing.

[gentoo-dev] eqawarn for main tree
In eclasses there's often use for outputting QA warnings for ebuild
authors (at least in java and python could immediately make use of
this). Currently Portage has eqawarn available but it's considered
internal. Hopefully eqawarn finds it's way to the next EAPI but in the
mean while do we want:
1) Do a wrapper like attached to eutils.eclass
2) Use whatever e* function that seems most appropriate (for example
einfo when it's common so user LOGging setups don't get too much noise)
3) Have a speedy next EAPI if we can find more stuff like this to bundle

Petteri
