Your idea of having a separate system for ebuild submission is a fine one and |
| 8 |
it has its merits. The only drawback is "who is going to do it?". |

There's a bit of a process required here - it needs to be thought out, drawn |
| 11 |
up, talked about, thought about some more, then implemented. That's an |
| 12 |
impetus that most people don't want to deal with. If you're willing to do |
| 13 |
all of those things, and it presents a great solution to the problem, I see |
| 14 |
no reason why it wouldn't get used. |

It's just important to remember that developer or not, we're all volunteers |
| 17 |
and we're all human. This isn't directed at you, but from my experience as a |
| 18 |
developer the comments I hear the most often are: "Gentoo needs xxxx" or |
| 19 |
"xxxx doesn't work so someone needs to fix it". After a while, you tend to |
| 20 |
dole back a canned "put your money where you mouth is" response. |

In summary, if you have a good idea for this, GLEP it. |
