Agreed. Set the herd to maintainer-needed. Since there isn't an actual
maintainer-needed herd, there's no need to add it to herds.xml or
anything.

I would say definitely not. The herd information can be polled by
jeeves, so it *is* valuable to have maintainer-needed in there.

Everything should have metadata. Removing it only adds more work for
someone else later.

Reassign all bugs open for the package to maintainer-needed.
