I see, that the sgml herd seems to be empty for a longer time, so i would like to ask, if someone
wants to take that herd and the related ebuilds and bugs over or if we should delete that herd and
assign related ebuilds/bugs to m-n.

if someone were to step up, we'd have to undo any changes we just did.  why 
not add m-n to the herd definition.

What exactly do you suggest?

My suggestion is to give people some time to join that herd (which had open bugs back from 2006!)
for some time and if nothing happens, remove this unused herd and assign bugs and ebuilds to m-n, so
people at least see, that those ebuilds are not maintained, instead of getting the false impression
of maintainership by an empty herd.

deleting logical herds and updating all the xml files takes effort, as does 
reverting those changes when someone steps up.  from what i can see, there is 
no gain doing this.

simple mark the herd itself as m-n, update the staffing needs page, and then 
re-assign the bugs to m-n while keeping sgml herd in the cc.

A lot of useful stuff here.

I've added myself and tampakrap to the sgml herd,
we'll try to keep it in good shape :)
