Having OhLoh would be nice, but over the course of the last year,
they've found that their system is not really capable of handling the
scope of the gentoo-x86 CVS tree.

Their system tries to get the full history every time, which is a design
issue. See the constant failures here:
http://www.ohloh.net/projects/gentoo/enlistments?query=gentoo-x86&sort=module_name&commit=Update

I did get in touch with them a year ago:
http://www.ohloh.net/forums/11/topics/183
This moved to private email, and I suggested some changes to how they
were doing it, as well as telling them how to fetch the gentoo-x86 tree
with rsync - but they (Robin Luckey) never got back to me beyond that.

As I understand it, they need a full history to start off. But once
they have that, it's just a case of pulling every commit, which they
should be able to handle. Jason Allen said today that a tarball of the
repo should probably be enough to get it working.

That's why I setup them up with the ability to rsync it, and they never
got back to me on that, nor used it ever.

Hrm, curious. They seem interested and alive currently. Perhaps it's
worth another shot...

Get Robin Lackey @ OhLoh to mail me again then. I'm busy the next week
as I'm at the MySQL conference in Santa Clara, but it's just a matter of
giving him the access details again.

I also queried them on the forum earlier this year, since none of my
commits were listed. Here's the link (I do think this is worth looking
into - note that the response what that they did not do CVS...):
