licq ebuild

I noticed that there has been ebuilds for licq 1.2.0a in the bug system for more than a week now. How long time does it take for an ebuild to reach the portage tree from when it was sent in?

Some ebuilds, like mplayer, apparently appear in portage just hours after they are updated. It's obviously understandable that important stuff gets done before less important stuff, but what's taking licq so long?

I could, of course, download the ebuild myself, but I got curious when all the time I see -r1's, -r2's, -r3's and new versions of some packages while licq is just sitting there.

Well, of course it works... I've been using the CVS version and it works for everything I care for doing with it. I would install 1.2.0 but I keep expecting it to show up in Portage and it never does. That's my only problem.

Give it time as the developers are quite busy, the ebuild I've submitted for foobillard made it after 10 days, so there's still hope
