Would be possible to modify script that generates
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/metastructure/herds/herds.xml to list
empty herds on a different section at the top of the webpage for
detecting herds without people easier?

Even better would be to also provide information about "devway"
developers, indicating something like, for example:
41.  gnome
- Description
GNOME Desktop and related packages
- Herd maintainers' email address
gnome@gentoo.org
- Maintainers
...
pacho@gentoo.org (Pacho Ramos) (Devway)

But I am not sure if it would be possible :-/

Also, maybe we should consider change the assignment for bugs assigned
to empty herds, assigning them to maintainers-needed and CCing affected
herd, that way, once somebody revives the herd, he could simply revert
the assign to the old way and, until then, people reviewing
maintainers-needed bugs would also notice that bug reports.  

Thanks a lot
