Become a developer. Or you could maintain it in Sunrise, which is a
good place for such packages, which also means a level of QA for the
ebuild itself.

From the looks of it, there's already a gentoo developer on it.
Please help Flammie with that :)

However do note that:
* I'm not an ebuild developer and not having main tree commit rights,
* I'm currently on away status working on my thesis so I won't be very
active (although my thesis and university work is on language
technology so I'll be having tons of LT apps lying around bugzilla and
my dev space anyways),
* Last I asked, my ebuild skills were deemed not good enough for commit
rights, so if you want to become a developer you are probably better of
rewriting the ebuilds from the scratch.
