Just after dealing with a bunch of Java stuff in work lately, I realized it would probably be useful to add support into repoman to suppress specific warnings.

As an example, for gitosis (and gitosis-gentoo), I'd like to suppress these:
  RDEPEND.suspect               2
   dev-util/gitosis/gitosis-0.2_p20080626.ebuild: '>=dev-python/setuptools-0.6_rc5'
   dev-util/gitosis/gitosis-0.2_p20080825.ebuild: '>=dev-python/setuptools-0.6_rc5'
Because the Python code in gitosis DOES actually use setuptools stuff at runtime.

This could open the door for running regular full-tree checks while cutting down the noise by being able to ignore the false positives.

As a syntax, I suggest comment blocks:
# @repoman-suppress (error name) (optional args)
Eg:
# @repoman-suppress RDEPEND.suspect dev-python/setuptools
# @repoman-suppress ebuild.allmasked
