There is a fairly common case that a package exists that Gentoo _should_ |
| 14 |
have in the tree, but those people with the hardware are unable to |
| 15 |
become devs because of time commitments or other reasons. I see no |
| 16 |
reason a dev can't collaborate with a non-dev on testing packages. |
