emerge --help misses a few short options. I've added the ones in emerge's shortmapping that were missing and fixed two lines that wrap on an 80 column terminal while I was at it.

Created attachment 52778 [details, diff] patch to emergehelp.py
Fixed on or before 2.0.51.22-r1
Looking through the batch of bugs, I'm not sure that some of these are actually fixed in stable. Others, the requirements have possibly changed after the initial fix was committed. If you think this bug has been closed incorrectly, please reopen or ask that it be reopened.
The improvements from the attached patch don't seem to be in portage-2.0.51.22, which is the latest portage in the tree and x86 stable. Reopening.
Putting a hold on feature requests for portage as they are drowning out the bugs. Most of these features should be available in the next major version of portage. But for the time being, they are just drowning out the major bugs and delaying the next version's progress. Any bugs that contain patches and any bugs for etc-update or dispatch-conf can be reopened. Sorry, I'm just not good enough with bugzilla. ;)
Reopening for consideration.
Seems to be fixed already.
