I would agree Daniel,

There is always stuff rollin' in from all the gentoo lists... It's
almost ridiculous how many discussions and threads are going on in
there. In that respect, I completely agree that the Gentoo project is
far from idle. For another snapshot of just how active gentoo is, check
out the IRC channels (#gentoo) and as Daniel said, bugs.gentoo.org.

"Don't get me wrong, but what exactly is the point of starting this
threads? If you're worried about Gentoo slowing down or even dying,
don't be, Gentoo is alive and kicking." - Daniel

It's true :)

Feel free to post any ideas you have to enhance Gentoo's base
functionality to the list though, I think you've roused everyone's
curiosity Grant :D
