I don't understand this idea on removing metadata.xml. There are lots of
packages with bug-wranglers@gentoo.org as herd in metadata. Removing
metadata.xml is IMHO a really bad idea. Just will make me look at the
ChangeLog, assign to maintainer-needed and CC someone who has touched the
ebuild most often.

Put maintainer-needed in herd seems a logical solution to me. Hmmm. Maybe I
missed something?
