Don't play down the value of ebuild development. It is important
progress, even (and especially!) if it is proceeding smoothly, so that
it won't be much noticed.

But to answer your question: Last year was somewhat exceptional for me,
because I focused mainly on non-technical issues.

- Copyright policy, GLEP 76
- New @FREE default for ACCEPT_LICENSE (and sorting out licenses of
  stages, install media, and kernel/firmware, which was most of the work)
- New locations /var/db/repos/gentoo and friends

I leave it for the reader to decide how large my part in either of them
was, and if they should be counted as successes.
