As you can see at:
http://euscan.iksaif.net/maintainers/maintainer-needed@gentoo.org/

there are a lot of packages assigned to maintainer-needed. This packages lack an active maintainer and his bugs are solved usually by people in maintainer-needed alias (like pinkbyte, hasufell, kensington and me). Even if we are still able to keep the bug list "short" (when excluding "enhancement" and "qa" tagged bugs) any help on this task is really appreciated and, then:
1. If you are already a Gentoo Dev and would like to help us, simply join the team adding you to mail alias. There is no need to go to bug list and fix any specified amount of bugs by obligation. For example, I simply try to go to fix maintainer-needed bugs when I have a bit of time after taking care of other things.
2. If you are a user, you can:
- Step up as maintainer using proxy-maintainers project:
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/proxy-maintainers/index.xml
- Go to bugs:

and provide fixes, patches... for them

Thanks a lot for your contribution!

Yesterday evolution messed up completely and I got my Inbox broken: all mails were repeated multiple times, I was unable to remove any mail, evolution was listing around 10 supposed unread messages, was reacting really slow to any action, lots of warnings in terminal output...

After googling a lot, removing indexes to regenerate them and other actions... I found the way to fix it:

$ locate folders.db

-> and remove all of them to get them regenerated, after that, all is working ok again

Finally, I run:

for i in `find . -name folders.db`
do
echo "Rebuilding Table $i"
sqlite3 $i "vacuum;"
done

to get evolution starting fast again (vacuum still seems to be required from time to time to improve startup performance... but it's a different topic, not sure if upstream is aware of this )

Currently, dotnet team members are only Alistair Bush and me. I joined the team simply because he went empty when Jurek became inactive, and Alistair joined for helping from time to time when he has time.

Then, if you are a Gentoo developer with a bit of time, please join us, every small help from time to time is highly appreciated, even if you won't be able to commit much, your comments in bug reports can help a lot.

If you are not a Gentoo developer and want to become one, please contact me for trying to find someone willing to mentor you if possible.

Thanks a lot :-D
