I'm not opposed to what would essentially be an overlay of
maintainier-wanted ebuilds, but I would actually prefer to see that
happen by pulling from the bugzilla database instead of trying to
replace bugzilla altogether.  My reasoning is that bugzilla provides a
place for community development of an ebuild (including commentary!),
which would not be true of just the overlay.  If one were instead to add
a magical bugs whiteboard status or keyword that let a script know that
there's an ebuild to pull from bugzilla that should be added to the
there-be-dragons-here overlay, I'd think that would make life
much simpler for everybody.
