I am in sunrise_at_gentoo_org alias so yes this is the official support you want. I am talking as a developer not as a user in this post :) I would advice you to use bugzilla instead. One bug per ebuild, then we will guide you through this. Do not be afraid to use bugzilla. It is the best way to deal with technical problems and proposals.

I've just read your last link, but I'm stopped at the first step: You need a bug for every ebuild. If there is no bug, file one. Just use Bugzilla. I've just used Bugzilla on this summer, but I had no answer. May it be my error was to submit an overlay, instead of just one ebuild per bug. But this error was not contested to me, because I simply had no answer. And that's not good for a distribution such as gentoo, which depends so strongly from ebuild developers. Tomorrow, I'll mail to sunrise_at_gentoo_dot_org. May you be so nice to assure me any kind of official support? thanks a lot, from now. :) sorry if I’m using your blog for my problem, but you are the first one who is answering me in some way, and I’m gracefull for this.

The first option is easy but the second one requires a review from a developer before you can commit your ebuild. http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/sunrise/wiki/HowToCommit You can contact sunrise_at_gentoo_dot_org but the recommended way is to either open one bug per ebuild or commit your ebuild to sunrise.

I find some help to irc #gentoo-sunrise, but I have no lucky. Is there an address where sending an email, instead of using irc? I don't understand very well this proxy-maintainer howto: http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/sunrise/wiki/ProxyMaintainer infact, I'm able to join a metadata.xml file to my ebuild (any of them contains something similar), but I need a place to send it and to have an answer. sorry.
