Well, games-* could be herd: games... and games-fps could be herd: games maintainer: vapier, wolf31o2... I'm also sure that app-vim could be herd: vim... Just like app-emacs could be herd: emacs... There are herds that are specifically designed to maintain a category. Take net-mail or net-print (printing) as examples. At the very minimum, I can see value in being able to assign a herd to a category, if not a maintainer. --=20 Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering - Strategic Lead/QA Manager Games - Developer Gentoo Linux --=-QWNSqnzrFw4xiu4A+RX0 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBCQsH8kT4lNIS36YERAtsAAKCufC62OPc6jdxiNVx60sIY63du8wCfQJvY TfLOqe3x4XY0eDm9G+a3MNs= =2maV -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-QWNSqnzrFw4xiu4A+RX0-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
