| To have even more unmaintained packages in the tree. The tree it is |
| 10 |
| that needs QA. If "maintainer-wanted" bugs stay open forever - who |

The people who work with maintainer-wanted care. |

| Thanks for the pointer. :p So from the user point of view it's better |
| 18 |
| to file a request without attaching an ebuild, because it wouldn't |
| 19 |
| directly resolved WONTFIX?! (Before you answer that: From the user |
| 20 |

| 21 |
| formal issue or a very wrong attempt, but being that strict is not |
| 22 |
| neecessary, discouraging and probably some even take the chance to |
| 23 |

Not really. It's pretty likely that anyone who looks seriously at |
| 26 |
maintainer-wanted will include "and KEYWORDS includes EBUILD" in their |
| 27 |
search. They'll probably include "and KEYWORDS includes REVIEWED" too... |
