[gentoo-portage-dev] tools-portage packages

[Paul Varner]

All:

(Apologies if you get this twice.  I never saw my initial send of the
message hit the mailing list)

Sending this here before I send to the gentoo-dev list.  Below is the
list of packages that are managed by the tools-portage herd and their
maintainer (if any).  I know we have several packages in the herd that
are not being maintained and I would like to either get a maintainer or
last rite the package.  I've included comments on what I know about the
packages.
