    Hello, everyone.

    The Gentoo MATE project [1] does not have any developers anymore.
    Please consider joining to keep it alive.

    That said, the packages don't look bad and there seems to be an active contributor submitting pull requests for them. According to repology
    [2], a few packages need version bumps. There's also 30 bugs reported
    against them [3].

    Hello Michał,

    The Gentoo MATE project [1] does not have any developers anymore.
    Please consider joining to keep it alive.

    I would like to volunteer, even if I am not very up to date with my last contributions.
    I currently pushed a PR[0] on Oz "oz123" N Tiram’s MATE repository[1]
    which has as objective to upgrade to current Gentoo’s Portage tree and
    to prepare for the next MATE release 1.28, which seems to be soon
    enough.
    Note: maybe some more reviewers could help.
    I also hope it will be the opportunity to push into Gentoo’s tree.

    In my PR it also pulls the version bumps (except for caja, there is not
    a 1.26.2 release, well it’s kind of odd in fact).
    This could clean some version bump tickets in b.g.o, but I guess I could
    also address those issues.

    I hope I could maintain at least the current quality assurance Gentoo is providing for this desktop environment.

    Best regards,

    My suggestion is we start by not making PRs to the overlay and just
    start making them for ::gentoo, or we'll never break the cycle.

    (Once they land in the overlay for example, it becomes very easy
    to just lose motivation for getting them into Gentoo proper, etc.)

    This sounds great, thanks for stepping up. I think it'd be a real shame
    if we lost MATE.

    best,
    sam

    I agree, it just appended I was working on this PR before this
    announcement.

    This sounds great, thanks for stepping up. I think it'd be a real shame
    if we lost MATE.

    Also totally agree, I really like MATE, and I hope upstream could
    success in its transition to Wayland, it will be so nice. Too bad I am
    not skilled enough to contribute (oh boy I tried).

    Thanks for your answer, Sam, so what about the PR? Should I propose it
    to Gentoo through Github too?

    Best regards,
