Coming to my mind:
There have been continued regular releases of genkernel integrating patches from various people: http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/genkernel.git;a=tags And there has been a constant stream of people asking for user overlay hosting or getting an existing overlay being added to the layman registry that we could serve. Ben, I hope you have the time to make a news post from this thread's collection? Best, Sebastian
