26 It is my understanding the the Sunrise overlay is not open to "anyone to
27 commit", so it is not a contrib/ The sunrise project is the owner of
28 the overlay and they are responsible for it's contents. The people
29 commiting are responsible for what they commit. The point of the
30 Sunrise project as I understand it is to aid in the development of
31 ebuilds in maintainer-wanted, such that they may improve and be added to
32 the tree; as well as to give frequent 'not quite a dev' and 'I don't
33 have a bunch of time but would like to help' people a place to commit to.
