I was not aware compton is to be dropped from tree. Ignore my takeover
and drop it as you see fit.

I'm using net-vpn/openfortivpn almost everyday and I would like to start contributing to Gentoo. If possible, I would not mind to start looking
after it, alone or to co-maintain it with someone who knows more
about maintaining a package. Also, I would not mind some hits on where to start, but I'm sure I can find enough information on Gentoo docs.

Hey,

thanks for your interest! I see there's a lot to do with openfortivpn.
First, there's a version bump available, and a relatively simply-looking
bug you could try to fix with the version bump,
https://bugs.gentoo.org/766357

Then you can call for a stabilization of a newer version,
net-vpn/openfortivpn
StableRequest: version 1.16.0: slot(0) no change in 161 days for
unstable keyword: [ ~amd64 ]

and after stabilization is done, you can attempt to remove the older
versions. Please see https://devmanual.gentoo.org/keywording/index.html#moving-from-arch-to-arch
for stabilization guide.

We prefer getting pull requests through Github, see https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Gentoo_Github for a general guide into
that. If you use IRC, you can join #gentoo-dev-help on Libera.chat
network to get more guidance.

You can contribute to maintainer-needed packages without having to
become the maintainer. We do allow regular users to become maintainers
of packages they're interested in via the proxy-maint project, https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Proxy_Maintainers
but we'd first like to see some successful contributions and consistency
from you. As said, you can freely contribute to maintainer-needed
packages without having to become the maintainer.
