I think you misunderstood luis' proposition. Everything would go on as |
| 25 |
now, including users submitting ebuilds on bugzilla and not |
| 26 |
"maintainaing" them anymore, but there would also be the solution of |
| 27 |
asking to do more and being a |
| 28 |
user_maintaining_an_ebuild_through_a_proxy_dev. If you don't want to do |
| 29 |
that or don't have the time, and I expect it will be the case of 99.9% |
| 30 |
of the users, it's fine. This project is only here for the remaining 0.1 %. |
