Punted.
So, why was this one punted, anyway? The bug was fixed in the new
version, and an updated ebuild was submitted?
Fixing an open bug is up to the Treecleaning dev in question. I've been
talking to some people on how exactly to handle this. I don't want to
bump random packages and not add myself as maintainer; usually this
amounts to the same package having a bug assigned to maintainer-needed
or treecleaners in a couple of months (either for another bump; or some
other reason). However if I were to take ownership of every maintainer
needed package that has an ebuild I'd soon be the proud owner of about
100 packages that I don't care about.
The masking and the e-mails and the bug filings are done for a reason; a
loud and clear "this bug needs a maintainer or it's getting axed." Some
stuff gets fixed (aka pornview) most of it gets punted instead.
