If you start moving maintainer-needed package on Sunrise then Sunrise will |
| 2 |
end up as a garbage collector overlay having many many ebuilds that nobody |
| 3 |
will actually maintain. If you care about maintainer-needed package then |
| 4 |
step up and proxy maintain it. The delay ( which is not that big if you |
| 5 |
cooperate with an active developer/herd ) might be a drawback but still... I |
| 6 |
don't want sunrise to become a place where abandoned ebuilds will end up. |
