That is imo a key feature: Get contributions back to the users easily It doe snot need to be the portage-tree .. but an official user-overlay or contrib-overlay would definitely help to get a lot of people involved. Other projects are providing similar infrastructure with very good results, see the Arch User Repository for example: http://aur.archlinux.org It would be great to have something like that available for gentoo-users.
