A lot of this was previously unwritten and/or scattered across the wiki.

"Ebuild maintainance" seems an odd place for this, when the word "ebuild" doesn't even occur in the whole chapter.

I wonder if this shouldn't go under "General concepts" instead?

I was thinking of it in terms of "one's duties when maintaining a package/ebuild". I could use the term ebuild in a few places but I don't want to jam it in either. Let me review and see..

But I do not object to "General concepts", just explaining why I chose this.

No, I'm not at all asking for this. 😄 That the term "ebuild" is missing in the present version was an indication for me that there might be a better place for the page.

Triage of the bug and filling out of the Bugzilla whiteboard is appreciated
but not required for the package maintainer.

Maybe explain what the "Bugzilla whiteboard" should contain, or link to an explanation?

Please explain (or link to) the format of the bug title so that you don't have to correct me every time 🙏
