Why did you fix the bug?
Who placed it in the tree?

I fixed the bug because I've made the ebuild myself see the attachment section.
Ebuild request > ebuild made > ebuild posted > bug fixed, or am I missing the point here? :P
What do you mean with "Who placed it in the tree?"

You missed the point.
Your request to have an ebuild for your own is full filled, but wouldn't it be nice to have this avaible for the main public as well? That was what I meant with "Who placed it in the tree". So please leave the bug open until a dev picks your ebuild and places it in the tree.

Wouldn't it be better in an overlay?

An overlay is no alternative to the main tree, it could just be the first step.

Hello, The Gentoo Team would like to firstly thank you for your ebuild 
submission. We also apologize for not being able to accommodate you in a timely
manner. There are simply too many new packages.

Allow me to use this opportunity to introduce you to Gentoo Sunrise. The 
sunrise overlay[1] is a overlay for Gentoo which we allow trusted users to 
commit to and all users can have ebuilds reviewed by Gentoo devs for entry 
into the overlay. So, the sunrise team is suggesting that you look into this 
and submit your ebuild to the overlay where even *you* can commit to. =)

Thanks,
On behalf of the Gentoo Sunrise Team,
Justin.

This request is obsolete and as such i am closing it.
Just use internal filter from libreoffice that is nowdays more advanced.
