I'm looking at this right now.  The EAPI and LICENSE are easily resolved.  I may need some help with the clang problem.

[Comment 3 Sam James 2024-06-04 02:44:22 UTC]

OK, let me know if you need me

Hi, 30 days window already passed. I'll give you a week extension.

Sorry, I've been really busy with other things.

Nobody ever contacted me back from maintainers-needed.  I have a trivial patch to resolve the LICENSE and EAPI as soon as I have a place to submit it, and I'm unable to reproduce the compilation issue, which APPEARS to be caused by naively substituting clang into CC resulting in gcc options not supported by clang being passed to clang.  I have no idea how to work around that.

And forgot to add, "but I don't think that can fairly be said to be gnubiff's fault."

I don't think anyone looks at the mail for that. We try to look at the proxy-maint@ email but it gets buried. IRC is best.
