I'm not certain what you're insinuating here, but yes, I'm a Sunrise |
| 10 |
contributor so I work with these Gentoo devs and watch them interact |
| 11 |
with everyone daily. They're quite competent, hard-working, friendly |
| 12 |
and helpful. Thanks largely in part to their efforts, 4 regular |
| 13 |
Sunrise contributors have already decided to increase their |
| 14 |
involvement by becoming "trusted committers", and they may very soon |
| 15 |
become full-fledged Gentoo developers (the traditional way of course). |

Sunrise only became functional about a month ago. Give it time. |

It's true there are only 4 Gentoo devs *currently* presiding, but they |
| 24 |
only oversee the ~150 ebuilds that are currently in Sunrise. As |
| 25 |
Sunrise succeeds (and all indications are it's working quite well so |
| 26 |
far), more Gentoo devs will no doubt choose to participate. Also note |
| 27 |
that it isn't Sunrise's goal to move every single |
| 28 |
maintainer-wanted/maintainer-needed ebuild into the overlay, so it's |
| 29 |
not fair to judge the project's capabilities against such a lofty |
| 30 |
standard. |
