Hello

The state of GNOME in Gentoo could use a bunch of work and we don't
really have the developers currently to take care of it.
My own grandiose plans to be back and keep things in good order faced
sad reality (a bunch of personal things) and we could really use some
help in at least carefully reviewing and merging a contributors lots of
work, and hopefully more.
While I don't have the time, energy and currently motivation to be
hands-on in the git tree right now, I am online on IRC rather
constantly (lets say while waiting on work rust code compilation ;) and
happy to help on-board an interested developer or developers with any
peculiarities (which hopefully would get documented in the process),
questions, module interactions, whatever is needed, including during PR
reviews, just please do keep in touch, so I can offload things from my
brain for a more sustainable future.

Given a huge stack of available pull requests from a contributor, the
main need right now is someone with a Gentoo developer hat who can help
review these and get good things merged, fixed what's needed, and keep
an eye out on the bugs. Of course contributors are welcome too, but
please keep an eye out for not duplicating work that's already waiting
review.

To my knowledge, one big issue right now is a circular dep between
glib->gobject-introspection->glib, which needs proper solving to move
forward with things. Or at least look at reducing the glib requirement
in gnome-shell some way to at least unleash that core stack for our
users. There are ideas we can talk about.
