7 The proxy-maintainers project is nowadays very active on the channel #gentoo-
8 proxy-maint. Several new and very promising contributors are showing up there,
9 and generating a flurry of activity.
10
11 Since the initial purpose of proxy-maintainers was to allow users to pick up
12 orphaned packages, that team has volunteered also to look at maintainer-wanted
13 bugs. Sorting them is something that can also be done by not-yet-devs under
14 supervision. Right now the team is discussing criteria how to handle the old
15 bugs, see [1].

20 ... and here's some personal remark from me: The proxy-maint project seems to
21 have gotten a good start now, with an active but informal community of
22 interested users forming on the channel, submitting e.g. pull requests and
23 discussing ebuild topics. As dev, please consider helping out there; more eyes
24 not just improve code quality, but also response times and community
25 coherence.

27 Cheers,
