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

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

Just my 2c
