    Hello.
    I can take it since I'm the author of the broadcom-bt-firmware project.

    I've dropped

    sys-firmware/broadcom-bt-firmware

    to maintainer needed, as I do not longer have compatible hardware.

    From a security perspective, the firmware in this package could be considered dubious. Personally, I would recommend users to by newer
    bluetooth hardware [1].

    The package has one open bug, requesting USE=savedconfig support: https://bugs.gentoo.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=broadcom-bt-firmware

    1: I now have a TP-Link UB500, and I am quite happy with it.
