Description Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

An upstream developer of one of my packages just noted how difficult it was to
discover the Gentoo maintainer of it. See on
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/shells/fish how the maintainer's name and
email are right down on the bottom.

Please add similar functionality to packages.gentoo.org.

Given the number of packages, which are practically unmaintained - and despite
that continually new ones get added to tree all the time - exposing this
information will not let us look good. ;p

I've observed that there are a lot of unmaintained packages.  Submitting to suggestion of not displaying this info.  May display hurd info in P2.
