I'm really not very happy to talk about it publicly, but Williamh who 
developed espeakup and is responsible for a11y in gentoo. really looks 
like a not very interested person.

I understand that we are all volunteers here. and we have work, family 
etc. but when I take over the maintenance of an open source project, or 
become the head of the a11y distribution team, I take on some 
responsibilities. and if I understand that for some reason I cannot 
fulfill them, then I will accept help from people who offer it to me.

I'm really sad to say this, but in relation with what I have written 
above, I think that this really needs to be done.

I really love gentoo. it is a great distribution with amazing 
technologies. and I have fun using it, but the lack of attention to all 
a11y bugs and packages makes it unuseble for the blind on desktop.

I understand this is offtopic for this mailing list and I apologize to 
Dave for this.
but I hope that these thoughts will be useful to someone.
