maintainer-needed isn't a herd, it's an alias. On the same subject, no-herd isn't legal in metadata.xml either. Both of these are metastructure policy matters, so changing them requires a GLEP. A GLEP probably wouldn't be a bad idea, either... The way the tree is maintained has changed considerably over the past few years. In particular, herds are no longer a fallback for when the maintainer (single person) is not available. -- Ciaran McCreesh : Gentoo Developer (Vim, Shell tools, Fluxbox, Cron) Mail : ciaranm at gentoo.org Web : http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm
