Please add it to the repository
I have an ebuild in my personal overlay. I also put some work into cleaning it the ebuild code. https://bitbucket.org/floppym/floppym-overlay Unless there is an objection, I would like to add myself to maintainers and move it to the gentoo repo.
Sure, go ahead and add yourself as maintainer and bump the ebuild, I haven't had much time to poke around with dracut lately (bumping this has been on my to do list for awhile). Looking at the ebuild in the overlay, I have a couple of things I noticed. One thing we should do for the 045 bump is allow usage of the new openrc pid 1 support so perhaps >=sys-apps/openrc-0.27 could be added to the || with init systems. It looks like the systemd-related modules are now installed unconditionally, I am not sure that this is what we want, we don't want a bunch of warnings on systems without systemd.
> It looks like the systemd-related modules are now installed unconditionally, I am not sure that this is what we want, we don't want a bunch of warnings on systems without systemd. dracut is really designed to do feature detection at runtime. I don't expect any "warnings", but I can test it on an OpenRC container to verify.

I'm not sure why dracut would need special support for that. It's just another init value that may be set on the kernel command line.
