The mailing list for proxy-maint was created 5 months ago [0], can be |
| 27 |
reached by emailing gentoo-proxy-maint@l.g.o after |
| 28 |
subscribing, and the archive is located at [1]. |

Regarding your comment on working with individual developers, I have not |
| 31 |
seen anything related to that in the project alias. I would be more than |
| 32 |
happy to personally help you out with proxy-maintainership. |

Thanks, |
