13 Agreed. However, am I the only one who wouldn't start doing an ebuild

16 I recommend a plain post of this text to an affected bug:
17
18 I hereby request this bug and package to be opened to non-maintainer
19 bumps. Unless this bug is closed before April's bumpday (2010-04-17)
20 or any of the maintainer objects I may take the liberty of bumping
21 this package from April's bumpday on.
