+<body>
+
+<p>
+Maintainers need some method or system to organize and start pending
+stabilizations once they become due.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+There are several tools available that can help with this:
+</p>
+
+<ul>
+ <li>
+ Use <c>imlate</c> from app-portage/gentoolkit
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Use packages.gentoo.org's maintainer pages (which have a Stabilization
+ tab)
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Use <c>pkgcheck</c>'s <c>StableRequest</c> check, e.g.
+ <c>grep -ri "larry@" */*/metadata.xml -l | cut -d'/' -f1-2 | xargs pkgcheck scan -k StableRequest</c>
+ </li>
+</ul>
