Easy: |

- You maintain a package that depends on this, and you want to be kept |
| 9 |
"in the loop" on changes/bugs just in case they necessitate changes |
| 10 |
of your own |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
- You're maintaining an independent overlay that contains derivative |
| 13 |
forms of stuff in ::gentoo, and so bugs that affect one likely affect |
| 14 |
the other |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Neither of these pass for 'maintainer' because they have no authority |
| 17 |
with regards to the package in question. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
So the nested sets basically communicate the level of authority one |
| 20 |
has, the outer one having the least, and the inner one having an |
| 21 |
authority that transcends gentoo. |
