Currently to file a stablereq, I have to first do a search for the package (to see outstanding bugs), then to go to bugs.gentoo.org (or use pybugz) and then enter the stablereq. I run a mostly stable system, though, and I get testing packages only through putting them in package.keywords. That way I regularly get packages which aren't marked stable but work flawlessly in an otherwise stable system, so they'd be candidates for stabilization. Testing a small package currently often takes less time than filing a stable request (especially because the testing can be done while using the package). What I'd now love to have is a way to say "the package in version x works for me" (or "no bugs visible for me"). Once several people on an arch do that and there are no more pending bugs for the package + version, a stablereq for that arch could be filed. That way I could help narrowing the gap between testing and stable systems without too much effort. Reproducible: Always
Please discuss it on gentoo-dev mailing list. http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/lists.xml
I'm not on that list, but I guess that means, it's being discussed. Thanks for the info!

Then it will have to wait one and a half months - I can't currently subscribe to another mailinglist with my exams coming up.
