Right. Several bugs/fixes/requests came from me too :) |

Given the fact that I consider current Java handling in Gentoo the best |
| 20 |
I've seen around (be that other Linux distros, Solaris and Windows) |
| 21 |
I suppose I could help a little too. |
| 22 |

I guess I could try to fix/revbump some ebuilds, like one or two |
| 24 |
per weekend, for start. But here I have some important questions: |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
* What is the best way to get from bugs.gentoo.org a list of |
| 27 |
ebuilds that need to be fixed/revbumped? |
| 28 |
Could someone post a link with such a prepared query, maybe? |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
* When I have, say, fixed an ebuild, what should I do with it? |
| 31 |
