[gentoo-dev] Herd up for grabs: gpe

Hello, everyone.

The only maintainer of gpe herd is MIA for some time, and this
pretty much renders the whole thing maintainer-needed.

Is anyone interested in keeping the herd as-is and maintaining all
packages in it? If I get no reply till 2016-01-24, I will effectively
remove the herd and announce the packages that landed in maintainer-
-needed as a result.

Packages currently in herd, along with their other maintainers:

x11-libs/libfakekey          : kde
x11-libs/libmatchbox         : 
x11-libs/libxsettings-client : desktop-misc
x11-misc/matchbox-keyboard   : 
x11-misc/matchbox-panel-manager : 
x11-misc/xoo                 : 
x11-plugins/matchbox-applet-input-manager : 
x11-plugins/matchbox-applet-startup-monitor : 
x11-plugins/matchbox-applet-volume : 
x11-plugins/matchbox-desktop-image-browser : 
x11-plugins/matchbox-desktop-xine : 
x11-themes/matchbox-themes-extra : 
x11-wm/matchbox              : 
x11-wm/matchbox-common       : 
x11-wm/matchbox-desktop      : 
x11-wm/matchbox-panel        : 
x11-wm/matchbox-window-manager :

All that stuff got masked for removal by Pacho recently anyway.

If you mean the matchbox set, it doesn't cover all of those packages.
Unless they were masked separately.

Only x11-libs/libfakekey and x11-libs/libxsettings-client are still
unmasked; both of them have additional maintainers, so nothing will
have to go to maintainer-neeeded@ when the GPE herd is disbanded.

By the way, x11-libs/libxsettings-client doesn't have any revdeps and
looks like it could be removed along with the other GPE stuff.
libfakekey still has some revdeps, though.
