Figure out where you want the directory and I'll be happy to create it. |

Looking at our various top level categories, it doesn't really fit cleanly |
12 |
into any of them. I'd suggest base as being the closest match. |

This is something I would object to. If this is an official Gentoo project |
19 |
(which I assume it is) that we're going to let official Gentoo users |
20 |
eventually user (which I assume we are) then we need to ensure that it's |
21 |
developed on secure infrastructure, etc. |

If there are people who want to commit code (and have the requisite skills |
24 |
to do so) but aren't devs, make them devs. |
