While removing maintainers from metadata i realised (not for the first
time) that i don't understand metadata :/
I thought it might be a good idea to add a new herd (maintainer-needed)
for packages where the maintainer has left. I think it will make it
easier for bugwranglers to assign bugs
transparent that the maintainance situation has changed
trackable
To me maintainer-needed is always a first step before a package gets
masked and removed from the tree.
Well, i was told that adding the maintainer-needed herd is not a good
idea and it is best to remove metadata.xml if no valuable information
remains.
I couldn't find information on that. Can somebody explain?
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?
