I don't know anything about freebsd, but I think they have a lot less |
| 15 |
packages than us. |

Since we have a vast territory to cover with just 200 (semi-)active |
| 18 |
developers, there are portions of the tree neglected by the dev corpus. |
| 19 |
The solution is quite simple: new devs assigned to those part of the |
| 20 |
tree. The only problem is that is very hard to find motivated peeps. |

As a guy that maintains stuff for which I don't have the slightest |
| 23 |
interest (other than serving Gentoo community, of course), I find the |
| 24 |
"let the others do the job" attitude pretty infuriating. |
