8 Maintainers will also go through a recruitment process, although a
9 much shorter one which focusses only on ebuild maintenance -
10 maintainers will not have the karma to introduce new ebuilds into the
11 tree. The idea is to make the recruitment process as easy and quick as
12 possible, while ensuring that the person involved has the requisite
13 skills.

15 Also, packages may not be marked stable until a full-fledged-developer/
16 QA-member has approved of it. Packages being broken in the testing
17 tree are not uncommon, and we are usually notified quickly enough to
18 fix it.
