12 *Please*, be so kind and look at metadata.xml for those ebuild, then just
13 either do it *yourself* or ask someone from your fellow-devs in commonbox
14 herd to do it for the other ebuilds that you failed to mention above...
15 Don't move broken stuff on other people's shoulders, as you've already done
16 once.
17
18 I fail to see why are you claiming here that there's even more broken stuff
19 in the tree, yet as a member of maintainer herd haven't dealt with that
20 properly for quite an extensive period of time - and then you are asking
21 *other* people to do something "properly".
22
23 The fact that there are other ebuilds broken as well isn't any valid reason
24 for keeping this particular broken thing on portage. That way, nothing would
25 be punted from portage, ever.
26
27 TIA.
