I was told to try sunrise with some of my ebuilds.  There's a reason I 
didn't, and I suspect it's the same other people also don't go to 
sunrise.  There's no good way of contributing an ebuild.  There's no 
bugzilla or website where I can upload the ebuild.  All I'm told is to 
go to IRC.  I would as well might have been required to go to McDonald's.
