10 I hardly think this is needed. Anything Gentoo distributes on his master
11 server and is mirrored is still distributed by Gentoo Foundation. The
12 trustees don't really need to be involved as the Gentoo developer that
13 actually does the work and development does this as a volunteer for the
14 Gentoo Foundation.
