[gentoo-qa] QA status update

So, awhile ago I tried to follow through on polling the dev community
about what they saw as major QA issues, but that failed miserably.  The
input I got from that was pretty sparse and not incredibly useful to
help quantify any real problems people face.  Perhaps if we make a poll
that isn't as open ended that would be better.

I'd like for anyone that is currently doing QA work to let us know what
you are doing so we can try to organize our efforts in a more consistent
manner in order to achieve the most we can for Gentoo.  I pretty much know
what Diego is doing since he's quite...noisy about it :)

Thanks,

from a qa perspective the devmanual is important to me. i have yet to 
contribute anything of substance, but have a few things in the pipeline.

also general qa bugwrangling do i consider important and i have been 
trying to file individual bugs for the few remaining mass ebuild/general 
issue bugs that are left. 

some of these qa checks are in need of being looked at again to catch 
regressions since the last time they were performed on the tree... but 
there are only that many hours in a day.

Working on GPNL, which I'm sure everyone is tired of hearing me talk 
about.  I'm aiming to have the backend finished this week, and then 
start on doing some frontend stuff.  Basically for QA what this will 
allow us to do is run some real-time checks on open QA bugs to see what 
is currently affected (no more updating lists on bugzie).

Other than that, the USE_EXPAND thing kind of bugs me, and I'll probably 
go through the tree sometime in the future to see how widespread it is 
and see if I wanna poke at it.

If I don't response to any of your patches quick enough, make sure to
prod me and I'll commit them.

Yea, it would be great if we could start assisting maintainers with
resolving these bugs where ever we can as well :)

Sounds good.  Let us know when you have something for us to check out.
