The past has shown that the first way isn't a solution that should be |
| 18 |
considered with the current information flow within the Gentoo |
| 19 |
development team. |

The second way is indeed hard to accomplish, but should be possible to |
| 21 |
do within some days. |

I would volunteer for the desktop-misc herded packages - which make up |
| 23 |
quite a lot of the affected packages. |
