I applied the commit made by the proxied maintainer as a part of |
| 40 |
his pull request https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/3948 |
| 41 |
required to fix bug 609132. (By the way you ignored that bug.) |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
Since the proxied maintainer doesn't have the direct access to the |
| 44 |
tree, I facilitated him and I see nothing wrong with this. |

Discuss this with your co-maintainers. I see nothing wrong in |
| 50 |
removing old packages from the tree if this doesn't break any deps |
| 51 |
and don't result in keywords being dropped. |

Commit from any listed maintainer either direct or proxied is OK. |
