Actually the Portage Team's lack of communication was brought to my attention recently by Tsunam after a lengthy discussion on irc. I was on the team, I certainly knew what was going on ;) Same with QA. Same with (mostly) infra since I hang out in -infra all day long. But as it has been noted in the past that not everyone can hang in every channel and "get a feel for what is going on" I figured I would volunteer to relay information. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
