Herd-like projects don't work very well. The sound project currently maintains 414 (!) packages, including a lot of different kinds of programs, and especially programs competing one with another. No offense intended but I honestly doubt you're using or actively maintaining all of them. Alike similar herd-projects, I'd like to propose either: a. disbanding the project entirely, and finding individual maintainers (or smaller projects) for packages you're specifically interested in, or b. reducing the 'sound' project to some subset of core packages, and giving away less important packages.
Created attachment 590004 [details] Packages maintained by sound@ Here's a list of packages maintained by sound@, with latest commit date. Note that I've only filtered out the most obvious false positives such as the git migration or $Id$ removal.

Created attachment 591160 [details] sounds-pkgs.txt Sorry about that. Here's the correct file.
As first measure, I suggest to reassign all packages which are outside of the sound directories such as dev-python/* net-misc/* ... Second we should last rite the dead packages. (such as https://bugs.gentoo.org/563760) Any objections?
