I mean I don't see the need to split sysadmin herd in three or more. Sure there is stuff in sysadmin that I don't care about because I don't use, but nothing forces me to maintain all of it. And if nobody cares about I'm perfectly fine to mark it as m-n. But I don't see the point in saying "well, nobody cares about nagios but two people, so we're moving it to a nagios herd". Might as well just use the two maintainers there, then. Yes I know I haven't been active at all. My time management is terrible and even after meeting Tom Limoncelli in person I doubt I'll magically start getting better at it, but I'll try to work on it.
