I have around 30-60 packages work in progress, not all from the
overlay.
You can take a look at https://we.make.ritual.n0.is/#overlays for ways
to display the whole content of the Gentoo specific overlay.

So far the only limitation is either specific changes which are not yet
in upstream or we package all dependencies even if it is in one case
shareware as a dependency, etc etc. Some are just waiting for a bugfix
upstream - I identified 2 bugs in torsocks and 1 in perl, at least one
torsocks and the one perl bug will be fixed in the next releases or once
they are downstreamed.

I have a no longer up-to-date todo list which also includes guix in the
"todo.git" repository.
