Hi there!
I've decided to step over from some packages I maintained before due to lack 
of time, competence, and in case of one of them - phisical ability for 
resolving corresponding issues.


Packages available for grabbing includes:

============
media-libs/vitamtp
app-misc/qcma
============

^ That two packages are essential to work with PS Vita (manage its library, 
transfer applications and so on).
Unfortunately, I had lost my Vita, so have no more motivation in maintenance 
of that packages. Also, one of them is archived by upstream and requires 
patching to support new ffmpeg.
And I have no competence in that, and, unfortunately, too busy at work to dive 
in this.

So, if you need them - feel free to take.
I'd be glad to help you with them (and, maybe, I can even be a proxy for you)


============
sys-power/bbswitch
============

Actually, there is still Pacho Ramos stays as direct maintainer, and there is 
also one proxied maintainer, but it would be nice if someone would also take 
care over it.

Actually, none of laptops I currently using have Optimus (actually, I have 
one, but there is long outdated gentoo, and I have no time to reinstall it to 
current state), so I have almost no hardware to work with this package 
anymore.

If you'd like to help @Pacho and @rei4dan with it, please, join them.


============
www-plugins/gosuslugi-plugin
============

Actually, this is a browser native-messaging pluginn (helper) for webextension 
for working with russian e-gov site(s).

Since... Uhm... Some time ago, upstream blocked access from foreign IPs 
(making it impossible to fetch the distfile)
Also, upstream is kinda hostile (uses unversioned tarballs, ignores any 
emails, also, package requires 777 on it's directory in /var/log (as it writes 
there a log when run under ordinary user, and I reported that more than two 
years ago already)).

Also, @sam nnoticed that gentoo repo is probably not a place for such 
packages, and I think I agree with him (although, I think I saw another 
countries e-gov related packages in the repo before)

So, I don't think this actually needs to be grubbed up (but who knows), so I'd 
just tree-cleaned it.
