The 0.2.1 version of xscorch is ported to GTK 2 - why not just version bump?

I might be interested in taking maintainership of this, unless another
similar function CLI script exists?

Perhaps you should tell users briefly what proxy-maintenance involves.



So depending on what exactly is involved with proxy-maintenance, I
could be interested in taking care of some or (up to) all of the
following:

x11-drivers/synaptics
dev-libs/libaio
dev-lang/fpc-source
app-office/mdbtools
app-laptop/configure-thinkpad
app-arch/rar
