This is what the original metastructure policy said, which means it
happened something like three years ago. The original point of herds
was as a fallback rather than as a primary maintainer. This obviously
isn't how things are done currently... A GLEP revising the role of
herds and adding in maintainer-needed would be useful. I'm not going to
be around over the weekend, but if no-one else has written something up
by whenever I get back I'll throw a draft together...
