New packages are unlikely to be accepted unless they are related to emulators, reverse engineering,
etc. Wine-wrapper packages will not be accepted. Binary packages are only accepted if there is no
alternative.

For binary packages without source available, do not add the `-bin` suffix to the package name. If
providing a binary package that is unreasonable to build in the Portage environment for the time
being, add the `-bin` suffix to indicate so.

Please make a fork and a new branch, make your changes and then run the following steps:

1. `ebuild [name of ebuild] manifest clean install`

   If testing runtime is important (anything that is not a library), please also add `merge` to the
   above command and run some basic checks. For instance, with an emulator run a game that is known
   to be working in the official build.

2. `yarn && yarn qa`

   (Requires Node.js and Yarn to be installed.)

   Make sure the above passes completely.

3. `pkgdev commit --signoff` and fill in the required message if requested (do not change or remove
   the prefix). Even if not requested, add to the commit message as necessary.
