Synnefo is already in a good shape too right? I would also like to see
a complete replacement for icc-examin, expecially it's ability to see
multiply profiles in the same 3d space, you know, to be able to say
those 300€ for a better monitor were a good price ;-)

indeed it's an offer for direct or proxyed help gentoo, a pair of
ideas that would help gentoo later

unlike the rest of the world I prefer cmake over autotools, but if you
need help on autotools I suggest to ask this list, there is a lot of
expertise here and packagers are going to fix bug in build system
anyway, so better soon than later.
Gentoo has good support for quite every build system out there, but
yes the two you mentioned are preferred.
While gentoo is more flexible than binary distro, there is one thing
that help them a lot, do releases (possibly often), they need a fixed
point to start with, having only a git repository where to pull mean
to be a second class cityzen.

I'm quite sure it's not needed, to the opposite, generally those files
go out of sync easily and are better mantained by gentoo devs.

I've the complete oyranos software stack building well in gentoo at
the moment (using git) :-)
