You need to ask a team member then to move them to maintainer-wanted.
Usually the teams have no problem with moving bugs over to
maintainer-wanted because they know that they cannot maintain everything
themselves.

This is volunteers work and usually volunteers are only moving over the
ebuilds they use themselves. We are not doing this in a general way, but on
a per-user per-package basis. We do not plan to run any importing scripts.
It will only be done if a user or developer is interested in it :)

Sorry, we are not doing this. We are assigning a bug to every sunrise ebuild
to make sure that it can be discussed there and is still easily searchable.

see 5) from Markus' email. You just need to have a good ebuild contribution
that we can review with you, You will not gain full access but it is a
start.
