repoman
From Gentoo Wiki (test)
repoman is a Python program used to enforce a minimal level of quality assurance in ebuilds and related metadata added to ebuild repositories.
Installation
Emerge
Note
In case Portage version is lower than 2.3.0 repoman is installed with it
In case Portage version is lower than 2.3.0 repoman is installed with it
Install repoman through emerge:
root #emerge --ask --verbose app-portage/repomanConfiguration
For signing commits, enable the sign feature in portage and set the appropriate key ID:
FILE
/etc/portage/make.confFEATURES="... sign ..." PORTAGE_GPG_KEY="<GnuPG fingerprint>"
Usage
Using Repoman is highly recommended for committing to Gentoo with Github pull requests.

To create a package's Manifest file:
user $repoman manifestTo scan the directory tree for QA issues (full listing), include dev profiles in dependency checks and force the metadata.xml parse check to be carried out:
user $repoman -dx full

RepoMan sez: "You're only giving me a partial QA payment?
I'll take it this time, but I'm not happy."
To scan the directory tree for QA issues; if OK, commit via VCS, include dev profiles in dependency checks and force the metadata.xml parse check to be carried out:
user $repoman -dx commit* 0 files being committed... error: gpg failed to sign the data fatal: failed to write commit object !!! Exiting on git (shell) error code: 128
Note
repoman commit only works inside local cvs, git, or subversion repositories.
The key will have to be configured by git config user.signingkey key_id.

When used in git, this command forces commit signature.

user $repoman --helpusage: repoman [options] [mode]
Modes: ci | commit | fix | full | help | manifest | manifest-check | scan
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-a, --ask Request a confirmation before commiting
-m COMMITMSG, --commitmsg COMMITMSG
specify a commit message on the command line
-M COMMITMSGFILE, --commitmsgfile COMMITMSGFILE
specify a path to a file that contains a commit
message
--digest <y|n> Automatically update Manifest digests for modified
files
-p, --pretend don't commit or fix anything; just show what would be
done
-q, --quiet do not print unnecessary messages
--echangelog <y|n|force>
for commit mode, call echangelog if ChangeLog is
unmodified (or regardless of modification if 'force'
is specified)
--experimental-inherit <y|n>
Enable experimental inherit.missing checks which may
misbehave when the internal eclass database becomes
outdated
-f, --force Commit with QA violations
-S, --straight-to-stable
Allow committing straight to stable
--vcs VCS Force using specific VCS instead of autodetection
-v, --verbose be very verbose in output
-V, --version show version info
-x, --xmlparse forces the metadata.xml parse check to be carried out
--if-modified <y|n> only check packages that have uncommitted
modifications
-i, --ignore-arches ignore arch-specific failures (where arch != host)
--ignore-default-opts

allowed with commit mode)
--output-style {column,default}
select output type
--mode {ci,commit,fix,full,help,manifest,manifest-check,scan}
