So maintain it. You don't need to be a dev to write an ebuild, and |
| 8 |
there are enough devs who are happy to throw an eye over user donated |
| 9 |
ebuilds and commit them to the tree... |

Removing a package from portage simply because no one has commited the |
| 12 |
up-to-date version you want is silly. If the only problem is |
| 13 |
no version bumping, provide the ebuild. Someone will commit it. I've |
| 14 |
done that for a few packages, it's not hard. |

I don't know anything about borg specifically, but as a user, I would |
| 17 |
not want to see packages being removed from portage just because the |
| 18 |
devs are too busy to write version bump ebuilds. |
