@HS: yea, until then..
@tiago: Please reread the post. 30 days in tree, no bugs.
@bbroeksema: Possibly. One such way would be to use pcheck from pkgcore-checks. cd into the directory you want to check, run pcheck. Then look for:
dev-php/PEAR-Log
StaleUnstableKeyword: version 1.9.13: no change in 318 days for unstable keywords [ ~alpha, ~amd64, ~arm, ~hppa, ~ia64, ~ppc, ~ppc64, ~s390, ~sh, ~sparc, ~x86 ]

(for example)

Granted, you will have to check for false hits, etc

HTH.

Thank you for that! I was looking for an easy way to help my favourite distro. I have just filed my first stable request bug.

Well this is a useful post and the first time since using Gentoo (~6 years now) I feel like helping out a bit. Do you know a handy trick (e.g. some shell script or so) to determine how long an ebuild is in the tree?

i'd love to, but, what are the requirements for an ebuild to be stable?

Yeah, good idea. However I think it _should_ exist some automatically generated list of such ebuilds (no bugs, at least one month in testing). Possibility that developer can subscribe for announcements would be also good benefit).
