Hello,

If you have an interest in this package, you're welcome to contribute ebuild and become a proxy maintainer, see 
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Proxy_Maintainers
for details.

FYI, the source is now available at:

https://github.com/Drive-Trust-Alliance/sedutil/tree/master

however, this package also requires a customized build of syslinux:

https://github.com/Drive-Trust-Alliance/syslinux/tree/master

I'm working on an ebuild for possible inclusion, with me as a proxy-maintainer. However, the fact that this package really has two repo'd components seems to make the ebuild process complex. Should I split it into two separate ebuilds to handle the 'syslinux' PBA fork and the 'msedutil' code separately? Thanks.
