If you are not a Gentoo Developer, you need a Gentoo Developer to merge
changes for you. This is called proxying -- you author the change and
someone else helps you by merging it.

The Proxy Maintainers project is a team of Gentoo Developers that devote
their time to helping proxy most people who ask, depending on
availability. There are some guidelines around when Proxy-Maintainers is
willing to take on new packages.

You can also arrange privately with a specific Gentoo Developer to have
them proxy you, without the involvement of the Proxy-Maintainers team
effort.

The purpose of HOMEPAGE is, in part, that it is easy to copy/paste from
the file without executing it in a bash shell.

Please report a critical upstream bug if there is no generic homepage
for the project that can be used without a constantly changing version
number. Even if the only project information is a generated
documentation page, it is standard operating procedure for software to
have a documentation site where {site}/latest/ is the docs for the
current version, and {site}/1.0.0/ is the docs for a specific version.
