	I know GURU is out there for new packages, but has there been any
conversation about adding a ~usercontrib keyword to portage that would
get version bumps in sooner for existing packages?  Especially if such
ebuilds were regulated to a separate overlay with a mechanism similar to
the proposed GURU mechanism?

This makes little sense to do when GURU exists… and the keyword should
IMHO be into metadata.xml.
And so, you get the same as proxy-maint@, right?

If this is about the lack of workforce for merging proxy-maint PRs
then maybe it should by moving stuff to GURU as it's not on the same
QA level and model? Specially as I don't think we should lower the QA
level of the gentoo tree.

	My understanding is that GURU only exists for packages that don't exist
in the primary tree.  So it addresses the new-package backlog, but not
the version bump backlog for packages that exist in the primary tree.

	A separate tree for version bumps probably creates it's own issues
though, since revisions would probably start conflicting.  (Gentoo: -r3;
User Improves: -r4; Gentoo doesn't accept -r4, but needs to issue an
unrelated -r4 => conflict.)
