Indeed! None of the few Gentoo developers interested in lisp seem to |
| 14 |
have enough time to spare to work much on Common Lisp. |

Maybe you should consider expanding your knowledge of Common Lisp if |
| 26 |
you rely on software written in it a lot. None of the (other) few |
| 27 |
Gentoo developers interested in lisp seem to have enough of an |
| 28 |
investment/interest in Common Lisp at the moment to even keep SBCL |
| 29 |
up-to-date. |

The only reason CL stuff is moving in the overlay is because some |
| 37 |
non-developers, mostly Stelian Ionescu, are interested enough to work |
| 38 |
on it there. Unfortunately we haven't been able to recruit any of the |
| 39 |
CL contributors. |

No objections from my side as long as you add yourself to the |
| 60 |
maintainer fields in some way. Perhaps by joining the common-lisp herd? |
