I run several production servers on Hardened Gentoo, and have a concern. The perl team has been awesome. I really love that packages are fairly fresh compared to what is in cpan. However, there is one very important package that's been ignored for far too long: SpamAssassin
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=177144 Why has it been waiting for a mips keyword for almost two years? No reply from mips. Pinging the bug has no effect, as seen with comments #5-#8. Is the package abandoned? Is there some political issue with Gentoo that keeps abandoned packages from being reassigned? I would love to offer my help, but lately those offers have been flat rejected by Gentoo devs. I guess my lips don't pucker well enough. I would like to have this package dealt with. There are some important bug fixes in newer releases. Wendall
