sys-apps/kexec-tools: Sync EAPI=8 to live ebuild & add 2.0.28
As of now, the latest version of kexec-tools in ::gentoo is 2.0.24, which no longer seems to work with the latest kernels (6.6+). 2.0.28 works with the latest kernels; I have been testing it for a week.
At the same time, bump EAPI of the live ebuild to 8, which other non-live ebuilds of sys-apps/kexec-tools have been using already.

OK. But if you're using this, could you consider co-maintaining it please?

Sure. For now, I'm happy to make a PR for every new upstream release of this package as long as I have time. I'm not formally a proxy maintainer yet, but I could apply to be one if that helps make the process easier and becoming a p-m per se is also easy and fast. I'm still hoping to have enough time to finish my paused Gentoo dev recruitment process; once I become a dev, I'll be certainly happy to co-maintain this package.
We know you, so all you have to do is follow https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Proxy_Maintainers/User_Guide#Proxied_maintainer_in_metadata.xml. The rest sounds good to me too!
Is it as simple as adding myself and the p-m project to metadata.xml? I have done that in the ~~above~~ below commit (fixed indentation). Please let me know if any other action of mine is needed.

Thanks @thesamesam! Should a proxy maintainer bug be created for me as well?
