This is what treecleaners try to do. Announce the upcoming removal of a |
| 32 |
package so users can step up and maintain a package |

The purpose of Dane's proposal is to push ebuilds to portage tree that |
| 37 |
you, as developer, have no interest in them at all, but users do. If the |
| 38 |
proxy-maintainer disappears, you can always leave it portage tree as m-n |
| 39 |
(assuming no open bugs) or ask treecleaners to remove it. |
