I'm in contact with Federico, we agreed that the recruitment process
will start when the exams are over, but he's going to start slowly
working on it before.

I think he can do good work on tcltk, and who knows if he'll work on
bringing PureData to Gentoo too!

ColdWind would you...? any one else?

I could help if you need.

Additional points if he makes coccinella work on non x86:
- requires getting tile and treectl in portage
- requires hacking a bit the coccinella sources

Bringing PD back sounds like a great idea; last time it had some serious
issues with the build system and hardcoded paths which made it rather
impossible to install correctly into live filesystem..
