Subject: [gentoo-dev-announce] app-portage/conf-update: new maintainer needed

1 Hey there,

4 like etc-update and dispatch-conf _conf-update_ seems to be one of the
5 more central tools in Gentoo.
6
7 I have the impression that it is unmaintained because...
8 - metadata.xml says maintainer-needed, and
9 - upstream seems to be a single _retired_ Gentoo dev, only.

11 There is lots of smaller task you could start with:
12 - Clean up the (rather messy) ebuild
13 - Integrate patches from the ebuild into a new release
14 - Fix ugly compile warnings

16 If you are fluid in C but not Ebuilds we may find a proxy or mentor for
17 you. Please contact us, i.e. please reply to the thread on gentoo-dev.
