In Reply to: [gentoo-dev] Packages that need maintainers by Daniel Goller
1 I have a question that I havn't been able to find that is somewhat
2 related to the following email. I know and understand Linux very well.
3 I also know how ebuilds work. So how do I go about maintaining packages
4 and getting them into portage. For example I would like to maintain a
5 munin, munin-plugin, and tightvnc ebuild. Where can I find this
6 information. I don't know where to start.
