I have received a lot of questions how people can help the Chromium in Gentoo project, and I think that a few examples would be the best way to explain that:
- https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=320145#c5
- https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=320227#c10
- https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=332435#c3
- https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=333231#c5
- http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-6503245-highlight-.html#6503245
- http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-854117-start-0-postdays-0-postorder-asc-highlight-.html
We also have another great contributor, Julien Sanchez. He is testing the unstable versions of the browser, helping on Bugzilla, and as you can see in the www-client/chromium's ChangeLog, his work is very appreciated.
There are many more people helping the Gentoo team. Based on packages' ChangeLogs, here is our little "Hall of Fame" so far:
- Yuri Arabadji
- Carlos Augusto
- Alex Barker
- Patrizio Bassi
- Johan Bergström
- Anton Bolshakov
- Auke Booij
- Robert Bradbury
- Zeke Connor
- cyrillic
- Damien

- sandrain
- Daniel Schömer
- Evan Teran

As you can see, we get a lot of support and feedback from the community.
It is worth noting that many Gentoo developers who are not members of the project have also contributed their work:
- Jory A. Pratt (anarchy)
- Diego Elio Pettenò (flameeyes)
- Jim Ramsay (lack)
- Peter Alfredsen (loki_val)
- Pacho Ramos (pacho)
- Maciej Mrozowski (reavertm)
- Tomáš Chvátal (scarabeus)
- Dror Levin (spatz)
- Samuli Suominen (ssuominen)
- Harald van Dijk (truedfx)
Add to that the work of the arch teams and the security team... It is just awesome!
By the way, don't forget how it all started: Bernard Cafarelli (voyageur) added the first ebuilds to the tree in 2009...
