[gentoo-dev] current metadata cleaning - maintainers needed

[Torsten Veller]

After removing two retired devs from metadata some packages...

...are left without maintainance:
(take it if you want, otherwise it might be removed from the tree).

| app-text/biblestudy                   --> no metadata.xml
| app-text/sword-modules                --> no-herd tag
| dev-libs/iksemel                      --> no metadata.xml
| games-misc/fortune-mod-gentoo-forums  --> no metadata.xml
| net-ftp/tftp-hpa                      --> no metadata
| games-action/descent1-maps            --> no herd tag

...fall back to herd maintainers:
(herd maintainer's discretion - just FYI)

No.  It goes to maintainer-needed and only is a candidate for removal if
it is broken or has a serious security flaw and isn't patched upstream.

categories with 'games' in their name belong to the games herd ... we just get 
lazy sometimes and miss adding metadata.xml

... or is out of date to the extent that upstream don't consider it
supported any more, or if it is unmaintained upstream and a better
maintained replacement package exists, or if it has dependencies upon a
version of a package which is being removed.

Really though, wouldn't this be an ideal opportunity to remove the odd
bit of dross from the tree? I mean, take fortune-mod-gentoo-forums for
example... Is it really worth keeping around?
