Nope..... I'm sure they're busy, and took the message at face value.

'Twould be nice if someone added a little note to the categories 
indicating that Gentoo Linux is the place to put version bumps; it might 
get more of us newbies involved and "owning" part of the effort.

I'll post some version-bump notices that I've been holding back on, and 
see if they "take". (If they don't, I'll come back here and ping you :-) )

Thanks.
