1 Could a number of folks familiar with both portage AND bash completion
2 help out the shell-tools herd (no specific maintainer specified in
3 metadata) with app-shell/gentoo-bashcomp bugs?

5 It seems to have accumulated quite a number (13) of portage-completion
6 (and gentoolkit-completion) related bugs, including bug #424777 filed on
7 July 4th by jer, mentioning that it it breaks with make.conf in /etc/
8 portage, which is kinda critical right about now. =:^(

12 And here's the list of all open bugs for it. As you can see if you look,
13 all or nearly all of the currently 13 open bugs are portage or gentoolkit
14 related, and it really looks like the package could use some help from
15 those who know those tools.

19 (I said on the devlist thread I'd report bugs, but this one's been open
20 for over two months and is directly related to the make.conf move, so it's
21 a big one, simple fix proposed, but no actual fixes in-tree yet, plus
22 seeing all those others related to portage and gentoolkit, thus the
23 request here.)
