We are setting up https://github.com/gentoo/proxy-maintainers to deal with some of these problems; if sunrise continues to decrease activity, I suspect this repository has a chance to become its successor. Travis integration is used to cover QA issues, see https://travis-ci.org/gentoo/proxy-maintainers which runs repoman on the overlay for each commit; therefore, QA issues don't go unnoticed. To improve the workflow further; we use app-portage/overlint to catch differences between that repository and the Portage tree, after which there is room for even much more automation; thus more time reviewing. -- With kind regards, Tom Wijsman (TomWij) Gentoo Developer E-mail address : tom...@gentoo.org GPG Public Key : 6D34E57D GPG Fingerprint : C165 AF18 AB4C 400B C3D2 ABF0 95B2 1FCD 6D34 E57D
