The point of treecleaners is to clean stuff that is broken. They |
| 11 |
shouldn't be removing packages that do not work. That being said, if |
| 12 |
it doesn't work and no one is willing to maintain it, it doesn't |
| 13 |
belong in the tree. |

If this is some opaque comment about how it should easier to |
| 20 |
contribute to Gentoo (including being a proxy maintainer) then I |
| 21 |
couldn't agree more. That being said after looking at what it takes to |
| 22 |
become a debian developer or ubuntu developer...I don't think our |
| 23 |
process is any more onerous than those. |
