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. > Well, i was told that adding the maintainer-needed herd is not a good > idea and it is best to remove metadata.xml if no valuable information > remains. I would say definitely not. The herd information can be polled by jeeves, so it *is* valuable to have maintainer-needed in there. > I couldn't find information on that. Can somebody explain? Everything should have metadata. Removing it only adds more work for someone else later. > 2) > What is the next step after the last maintainer is removed from metadata.= xml? Reassign all bugs open for the package to maintainer-needed. > Well i announced these packages on -dev. Now i can wait some time (how > long?) and then? Nothing.
