If you are interested in maintaining the package in the portage tree, best contact the proxy maintainers project:

Comment 6 Chí-Thanh Christopher Nguyễn gentoo-dev 2014-06-03 11:33:03 UTC
Some notes about the ebuild:

The license should possibly be GPL-3+ rather than GPL-3. Also in the distribution tarball there is one sourceless binary executable libexec/lzhuf with unclear license. The license of that file needs to be determined and added to the LICENSE variable.

The SRC_URI seems incorrect, it needs to be something like 

inherit versionator
SRC_URI"http://d-rats.danplanet.com/download/v$(get_version_component_range 1-2).x/${P}.tar.gz"

I can proxy for him, but I'm purposely dragging my feet because I lack the time to review much at this moment and he is still learning about ebuilds ;-)
