10 That's not completely accurate. While stable requests should indeed be
11 handled by the package maintainer, keyword requests can be handled by
12 bug wranglers.

14 The policy is documented in
15 <http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/bug-wranglers/>:
16
17 # * A keyword request should be assigned to the package's maintainer
18 # and CC'd to the appropriate arch team(s). The report's Keywords
19 # field should contain the KEYWORDREQ keyword.
20 #
21 # * A stabilisation request should be handled by the package's
22 # maintainer, so you should not CC arch teams in your role as bug
23 # wrangler, nor set the STABLEREQ keyword in the Keywords field.
24 # Unless the package is maintainer-needed, then you should add
25 # arches and set the Keyword field if the bug makes sense.
