I'm not a developer (I've completed the ebuild quiz and heroxbd is |
| 38 |
supposed to be getting back to me), but I'm interested in helping |
| 39 |
maintain games. I have a decent number of Humble Bundle games that I'd |
| 40 |
love to see make it into Portage, and I could assist in testing some |
| 41 |
games. |

I recently filed a bug [1] to version bump Rochard and fix a README |
| 44 |
filename and it's available on my own overlay [2] as well. Not to brag |
| 45 |
or anything, but if I make developer status I'd gladly become part of |
| 46 |
the games team. |
