maintainer-needed isn't a herd, it's an alias. On the same subject,
no-herd isn't legal in metadata.xml either. Both of these are
metastructure policy matters, so changing them requires a GLEP.
A GLEP probably wouldn't be a bad idea, either... The way the tree is
maintained has changed considerably over the past few years. In
particular, herds are no longer a fallback for when the maintainer
(single person) is not available.
