Thanks for the link. I didn't know Johannes resumed maintaining colorgcc.
[2] has a set of disadvantages.
- the current ebuild in the portage tree does not pull from [2]. Even if
  Johannes took my patches they'd not end up in the portage tree
- [2] does not have the gentoo patches that the portage tree has

The colorgcc ChangeLog in the portage tree shows that the current gentoo
maintainer is Jonathan Callen.
Jonathan, do you think you can start to pull from [2]?
