Thank you for the enlightening. What is your opinion about what Caster |

suggested (copy below)? |

I agree. And people willing to help but not having the time/etc to |
| 21 |
become full gentoo devs could have commit access to the "more |
| 22 |
experimental" overlay and from there devs could review the ebuilds and |
| 23 |
if they are fine, move to the "ready/reviewed" overlay (or even main |
| 24 |
tree) - I think it's how the infamous Sunrise overlay works :) I think |
| 25 |
svn is nicer to work with than sending stuff to maillist or uploading to |
| 26 |
bugzilla, then dev needs to put it to his overlay himself for review, |
| 27 |
seems like unnecessary waste of time to me. |

Well, if they could be assigned to directly. Now it goes to bug |
| 40 |
wranglers, and sometimes the reactions on java bugs aren't very warm, as |
| 41 |
I can see on #gentoo-bugs :( Also, we often need to reassure Jakub that |
| 42 |
the our bug report isn't invalid because of not following migration |
| 43 |
guide etc... Maybe trac tickets could be better for making todo notes of |
| 44 |
stuff so it's somehow organized and not forgotten. There was tickets |
| 45 |
module in gentooexperimental.org Trac, but I can't see it on |
| 46 |
overlays.g.o though... |
