A guide of some sort would definitely be appreciated.  If a few devs
have worked out a super-efficient way of doing stabilizations without
making mistakes it would be nice if everybody else had the option to
do the same without having to stumble around finding it.

Along the same lines - some kind of gentoo dev tips page might be
useful if anybody cared to start creating one.  I have a few
scripts/aliases that I've made use of (often passed along from
somebody else or snipped from a list).  Perhaps not every new
developer knows that they can run "qlist ${1} | xargs scanelf -L -n -q
-F '%n #F' | tr , ' ' | xargs qfile -C | sort -u" to get a starting
list of package dependencies.
