I'd like to nail the details down on this more with my team, but in my mind I'd like to do it more (as stuff is getting cleaned without an attempt at fixing it in some cases). Obviously there is user interest which was one of the goals of sending this mail ;) PS another thread mentioned Cgoban : this is very useful for Go players. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list

It's been replaced by dev-lang/fpc with the 'source' USE flag. I'll see if I can get rid of whatever still needs it over the weekend, and fpc-source itself after that. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list

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 -James (Just a User (tm)) ;) -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list

If you look at gpnl[1] you will see a list of packages with NO maintainer and NO herd. If you are a dev and are interested in a package please take it. For herds, you may wish to glance around the categories and pick up some packages that you use/are useful/are in your herd. For users, if you see something you use, you may become a proxy-maintainer for it. I'm going to try and improve treecleaners in that regard over the next few months.
