32 Lucas, ping me on irc/email me directly. I have been maintaining
33 buildbot in gentoo for awhile and my day job is working on/developing
34 buildbot scripts. I am planning out some pkg bumping scripts to help
35 with regular pkg maintenance. I hope to have some initial code running
36 during the holiday break.

38 There should be a bunch of shared factory code possible as there will
39 be some overlap in their needs.
