not really, because they would have to exist in the web of trust and be |
| 2 |
signed by a gentoo developer, a developer could approve the project, and |
| 3 |
it could be proxied through them until the developer felt they were |
| 4 |
capable, then they sign there gpg/pgp key, allowing them to bypass the |
| 5 |
developer who was being the proxy. i think this is a wonderful idea. |
