As far as I'm aware the standing policy already exists that |

maintainers can stabilize their own packages on amd64. |

That said, if somebody wants to organize an AT program for amd64 they |
| 17 |
should feel free to do so. I could explain how things used to work at |
| 18 |

The old way it used to work is that ATs had to pass the ebuild quiz |
| 21 |
and they would get editbugs privs to tag bugs as tested. I won't |
| 22 |
elaborate here unless there is interest... |
