Last year media-sound/exaile was removed from portage because of a dependency on a package (Berkeley) deprecated in gentoo and fedora.
Recently, on the exaile github, someone created a branch that no longer depends on the Berkeley dependency
I adapted the old 9999 ebuild to use this branch and can compile and use exaile fine on my bran-new gentoo install.
My question is :
Would it be accepted to include an ebuild in portage if it is based on an github sub branch and not the main branch ?
If so, how would one proceed to remove the last right bug like this one https://bugs.gentoo.org/922816
Open a new bug? Submit a request somewhere else ?
More info on this in the exaile issue https://github.com/exaile/exaile/issues/915
The original ebiuld was taken here

My new version is like this
