There is really only one way to do this. Figure out how to give the |
| 12 |
developers more time to develop. |

Having to search through bugs.gentoo.org, plus some external site, would |
| 15 |
increase the time needed to find packages in need of upgrade, as some |
| 16 |
will be filed as bugs, which would need to be resolved, so they would |
| 17 |
have to be searched for *anyway* in bugzilla. |

The most productive thing you could do, would be to figure out a simple |
| 20 |
way of testing ebuilds, marking them as tested, and assigning them to |
| 21 |
the proper parties quicker than is being done now. |

What we really need is to have the AT program extended from just amd64 |
| 24 |
to every arch, including x86 (which desperately needs an arch team). |
