Hi 

According to https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/net-fs/samba, v3.6.25 is still supported in portage.
However, what worries me is lack of any security patches released after official v3.6.25 release.

I mean those which can be found here - https://www.samba.org/samba/history/security.html
Specifically https://www.samba.org/samba/ftp/patches/security/samba-3.6.25-security-2015-12-16.patch and
https://www.samba.org/samba/ftp/patches/security/samba-v3-6-security-2016-04-12.tar.xz

I'd like to know security status on current 3.6.25. 

Reproducible: Always

If I provide ebuild having those patches on board, is there any chance of accepting it in tree?
