I haven't spent much time on beets lately. Current version in tree is 1.1.0,
upstream is at 1.3.1. I have the ebuild more or less ready, but it still needs
testing/cleanups before I'd be willing to commit to tree. I would *really*
appreciate someone taking the package (and several deps, see end of my email).
I'd still help out if needed as secondary maintainer.

Only missing dependency I could see is version bump for mutagen[1]. Upstream has
quite extensive testsuite, plugin architecture which is great for USE flags and
Adrian (sampsyo) generally reacts fast and accepts patches that fix or simplify
packaging work. In other words...ideal upstream.


Dependency chain that is related and maintained by me:
 dev-python/pyechonest
 dev-python/munkres
 dev-python/unidecode
 dev-python/python-musicbrainz-ngs
 dev-python/audioread
 dev-python/pylast
 dev-python/pyacoustid
 dev-python/bluelet
 media-sound/rgain
 media-sound/beets

Currently there are 2 bugs for beets, one is version bump[2] of beets itself and
the second[3] is request for replacement of ffmpeg with virtual requires
(which is a bit tricky and would likely need upstream work).

Any takers? Feel free to add yourself to the top of metadata.xml and ping me on
IRC. Unless I'll find some other primary maintainer I'll move to package to
maintainer-wanted so that bugs don't accidentally end up in black hole.
