I would ask the GURU maintainer if they wish to co-maintain it by proxy in ::gentoo. > What's the correct procedure for this? Do I simply commit app-text/ocrmypdf > to the tree? Who will remove it from guru? I believe all Gentoo devs have write access to the GURU repo, so you could remove it yourself if you want. Otherwise, I suppose that would fall to the GURU maintainer and/or the members of the GURU project. The package rename makes things a little dirty. I'm not sure we really want to introduce pkgmove entries in ::gentoo for ebuilds that currently only exist in overlays. Maybe add a soft-blocker on the original package name to your new ebuild.
