I'd say that the correct way to fix this is to fix the metadata schema
to be able to write something like this:

<maintainer>
  <team>foo</team>
</maintainer>
<maintainer>
  <dev>adev</dev>
</maintainer>
<maintainer>
  <team>bar</team>
</maintainer>

or

<maintainer type="team">foo</maintainer>
<maintainer type="dev">adev</maintainer>
<maintainer type="team">bar</maintainer>

Because having to write this:

<herd>foo</herd>
<maintainer><email>adev@gentoo.org</email></maintainer>
<herd>bar</herd>

is just nonsense.

Cheers,
Tiziano
