I'm not a programmer, but it would seem that writing a module for webmin to handle something like portage administration would be much easier, and probably more quickly result in a more complete administration interface for a gentoo machine.  I'm not doubting that one could develop a better web interface or tool than webmin, for Gentoo, just curious.

The idea behind this is far more than Webmin does. One of the coolest
features looks to be a way to keep multiple Gentoo boxes up to date with
security fixes (so it will tell you what boxes have what that need
updating, etc.) and also more of a large-scale administration of
multiple servers from one interface (where Webmin does one server).
