However, I'm also wondering why the ebuild doesn't make use of the
EDITOR variable as was mentioned.

Because that's the worst thing to do. An ebuild's behaviour should not depend
on env variables (like it's still the case for this stupid grub ebuild),
because the user never get's to see this.

Oh, really?
Snipped from sudo's ebuild:
econf --with-secure-path="${ROOTPATH}"

What do you think about this line? There's an issue connected with that string by the way.
You may want to check it:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=286014

The maintainer didn't even notice user about hardcoding ROOTPATH in sudo.
And, even more, he didn't check that manual page is saying that secure_path
is unset by default. And again I (the enduser) was forced to go check the ebuilds
to see why sudo doesn't work as expected.
