There is a known issue with wiki email not being delivered to personal Gmail accounts (see bug #856757). Password reset requests and all other wiki emails are presently affected by this issue. The Gentoo infrastructure project is aware of this issue, however there is no estimated time to resolution. As a workaround, if possible, sign up for a wiki account using an email address that does not end in @gmail.com. We apologize for the inconvenience and will remove this message when the issue has been resolved.
The issue does not appear affect corporate - Google Workspace - Gmail accounts. Please comment on bug #856757 if this is not accurate.

August 04, 2022: More updates to developer and project wiki forms
Wiki admins would like to formally announce more quality of life enhancements to developer and project 'pages' here on the wiki. Enhancements include:
- Links to related bugs on bugs.g.o can now be activated on Gentoo project boxes (closes bug #686264. Individual projects can opt-in with the checkbox on each respective project page.
- A new field for developers to post a 'fund me' link directly on their developer 'profile'. None of our developers are paid by the Gentoo Foundation; the vast majority of our devs freely volunteer their time to maintain and improve Gentoo. Please consider donating to our devs who have listed their fund me info.
