Hi,
I'm currently co-maintaining (with coronalvr) some packages which are used 
by middle-eastern users (namely - fribidi, hspell, bidiv, and i'm probably 
forgetting something here..).

Now, those packages are currently herdless because i'm not sure what 
strategy should be taken when assigning them to herds.
There are two options regarding that:

a) Creating a general i18n herd for all i18n-related packages (the cjk 
herd could probably be merged into that).
b) Creating specialized herds for each region/language group - ie. 
middle-east, cjk, anything else?

I think option B is better because, for example, i've absolutely no 
knowledge of CJK, so if someone will ask me something about one of the cjk 
packages (because he'll see me as a maintainer for the i18n herd) i'll 
have to redirect him to someone else in the herd == inefficency.

Your comments are more than welcome.
