This sounds to me like you are trying to automate common sense. If you |
11 |
see packages that have good ~arch ebuilds that appear to be fermenting, |
12 |
please file a bug. Rumours of unresponsive arch teams have been greatly |
13 |
exaggerated! |

The worst that could happen is that a more exotic arch sees your bug and |
16 |
decides "sorry, we would rather unkeyword it" rather than "okay, we will |
17 |
stable that". Either way seems a valid outcome though? |

I can't speak for other arches than AMD64, but we are happy to receive |
20 |
more than the current influx of bugs, particularly if you are willing to |
21 |
take suggestions to heart (a lot of QA niggles get shaken out in AT |
22 |
reports lately). |
