Hi!

You can file a "New Ebuild" request on Bugzilla (go to "New" -> "Gentoo
Linux" and select the component "New Ebuilds"), or you can fork the
Portage tree on GitHub[0] and submit a Pull Request.

If you're interested, you can also become a proxy-maintainer for the
package - you would be responsible for bugs and version-bumps, and while
you wouldn't have commit/push access to the development Portage tree,
the members of the Proxy Maintainers project[1] are there to help
prepare and commit ebuilds and patches.

Thanks in advance for the contribution!
