compiled and tested just fine, so could use some ~sparc love (it's a nice display manager) I would love to assign this (and others like it) directly to sparc@gentoo.org to speed up the process but the form doesn't allow me to do that *hinthint*
Sure it does. Since your bug report doesn't have all of the reproducibility and expected results stuff, you're likely using the non-guided new bug form. There is a field labeled "Assign to:". Just stick sparc@gentoo.org in that field.
~sparc'd, thanks for the report!
