It would be nice, if lxd-snapper would be added to gentoo repo.

I have tried to make an ebuild by cargo-ebuild, but it fails on my machine.

Hmmm, currently I'm doing this via (automated) bash scripts. I find this useful, but I personally won't be changing my own workflow for a while now, busy life with new projects started after new year.

So I'm looking for someone to proxy-maintain this. Please see 
  https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Proxy_Maintainers
  https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Proxy_Maintainers/User_Guide#Proxied_maintainer_in_metadata.xml

And the easiest way to write cargo-based ebuilds is to use cargo-ebuild package, 
  https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/dev-util/cargo-ebuild

Remember that this ebuilds needs to hold correct LICENSE for every bundled lib. For that, cargo-license helps, 
  https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/dev-util/cargo-license

If you (whoever wants to step up for this task) need more help, let me know. We can discuss here, via e-mail or in IRC. 

Please finally make a Github PR with proper sign-off added,
