Plex was removed some time ago, and its GLEP81 packages have no revdeps, so it seems like these packages were just missed in the removal.
With all due respect; Plex was removed by mistake, due to a misunderstanding of how to package it. Keep these packages and bring Plex back. Is a Gentoo policy against packaging commercial software? Bloated or not it's hugely popular, maintained and can be packaged per the upstream guidelines for packaging. There are Plex employees familiar with Gentoo who assist with Linux packaging. Thank you

According to the see-also'd bug (to which you're CC'd, which I assume is how you found this bug), Plex was removed because it still needed Python 2. I'm not familiar with this package, but if Plex can be installed without ever needing Python 2 I imagine the proxy-maintainers team would be happy to add it back to Gentoo. I cannot speak for them, of course.

[Note by sam@: - Restoring because this is a particularly popular piece of software. - Yes, Python is "bundled", but it's a stripped down copy, modified/patched copy with missing functionality, and we'll do best to treat it as if it's not there. - Users are better served by keeping an up-to-date version in tree, even if it's less-than-ideal for upstream to include Python in this way.] Closes: https://bugs.gentoo.org/769782 Signed-off-by: Scott Martin <om@organizedmagnetism.com> Closes: https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/20320 Signed-off-by: Sam James <sam@gentoo.org> licenses/Plex | 54 +++++++++++++++ media-tv/plex-media-server/Manifest | 2 + media-tv/plex-media-server/files/80plexmediaserver | 1 + media-tv/plex-media-server/files/README.gentoo | 4 ++ .../files/plex-media-server.conf.d | 7 ++ .../files/plex-media-server.init.d | 16 +++++ media-tv/plex-media-server/files/start_pms | 51 +++++++++++++++ media-tv/plex-media-server/metadata.xml | 19 ++++++ .../plex-media-server-1.23.1.4602.ebuild | 76 ++++++++++++++++++++++ 9 files changed, 230 insertions(+)
