8 Im sure that there are more than a few dev that would be willing to
9 proxy maintain the package, if a user is prepared to standup and take
10 responsibility for it. Currently it seems that the package doesn't
11 build for everyone ( by having a quick look at #201093 ) and this is
12 something that any maintainer would have to rectify [1].

14 If your prepared to do it there are plenty of resources to help you
15 along. Checkout http://devmanual.gentoo.org and jump on
16 irc://freenode/#gentoo-dev-help if you have any ebuild related questions.

21 package works for them, that it works. This sadly isn't the case.
