The cheap answer is "as much as possible. |

Yes. Although I would not want to impose my thoughts too much in this |
| 12 |
regard, as I think we have a lot of capable devs, who are hopefully more |
| 13 |
fit for this task than I am. |

I don't know what maintenance you are speaking about. |

The repository isn't hosted by us along with everybody else's |
| 24 |
repository, so there is no community element. And the Gentoo tree isn't |
| 25 |
modular today. So I completely fail to see how that would be "mostly the |
| 26 |
same". |

That would be great. |

I assume that using PPAs is at your own risk, so this is not a real |
| 38 |
problem. Gentoo would have a curated and reviewed set of repositories, |
| 39 |
venturing outside of that is clearly for power users. |
