i'll look into it. a hashed list of gentoo.org bugzilla accounts would 
definitivly help! just the query is a good start though - i suppose (lets 
try that first). the script runs a couple of minutes anyway - if that 
doubles, triples or quadruples its not a problem...

'Proxy maintainer without gentoo association' means 'there is neither a 
herd nor a gentoo maintainer listed'. you want to require a maintainer? a 
lot more ebuilds will fail this check...

one may actually want to restrict that even further, and require both a 
herd and a maintainer, as to define a pool of backup people in case the 
gentoo maintainer retires.

thanks!

kind regards
Thilo
