Can somebody explain? 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. > 2) > What is the next step after the last maintainer is removed from metadata.= xml? > Well i announced these packages on -dev. Now i can wait some time (how > long?) and then? Put maintainer-needed in herd seems a logical solution to me. Hmmm.
