[gentoo-dev] media-optical and net-zope herds are empty

Even if they have some people in their mail aliases, looks like herds
are empty. If nobody volunteers to join to them, I think we should drop
that herds and move their packages to maintainer-needed in a week or so.

What do you think?

The same applies to "sgml" now that cryos is retiring :(

Sorry for nitpicking, but a "herd" is a collection of packages. So the
herds are not empty, but they have no maintainers.

How many packages are in these two herds? If it's only a few, then
this certainly makes sense.

Well, I knew what a "herd" means exactly per devmanual ;), but, in real
world, that "collection of packages" is really orphan (are like
maintainer-needed packages but, what is worse, out of radar as they are
not listed as orphan at all)

(Personally I completely disagree with that sense of "herd" but, as
looks the meaning is there since the beginning...)

Only two for net-zope, but many more for, for example, sgml and
media-optical.

Also, after re-reading devmanual, being 100% strict that collection of
packages need to be "associated to a set of maintainers" (that is
currently not the case :( )

We just cleaned out most of the net-zope packages. The remaining
net-zope packages will be maintained by the python team; the net-zope
herd can probably be removed.

Maybe we could do the same as did in the past for openoffice herd:
- Change metadatas and bugs to assign them to maintainer-needed (and
reflect reality)
- Keep herd in metadatas and CCed them to bug reports

The other option would be to simply drop that herds, assign packages to
maintainer-needed and wait developers to grab whatever they want

What do you prefer?

For net-zope, I'd prefer dropping it. We decided to get rid of Zope,
removed almost all relevant packages, so there's no point in keeping
the herd.

Please leave at least media-optical@ be as it is. Changing it doesn't 
make any sense.

Well, the idea would be to get their bugs assigned to maintainer-needed
and media-optical CCed if somebody wants to take that stuff someday, it
would reflect better reality as, currently, their bugs are being
assigned to an empty herd (yes, xarthisius (I think he was in alias but
not officially in herd last time I checked, anyway it's only one
example, nothing personal against him of course :)). What will occur
when he simply drops his mail from alias as he never wanted to be a
member of that herd? What would occur if he only wants to maintain some
packages but others are getting ignored?

The idea to get them moved to "orphan" is to reflect reality and, that
way, try to get developers (or users willing to proxy maintain them)
involved on exact apps they really want to keep maintained.

As talked just now with Samuli, he added him to media-optical (both, to
alias and herds.xml) and then, this no longer applies to media-optical
obviously ;)

Will then do the following:
- Add a <maintainer> tag to their metadatas to get bugs assigned to
maintainer-needed
- Keep herd to get it CCed (like was done some weeks ago with openoffice
herd)

This applies to "sgml" and "text-markup" since media-optical is active
again and looks like net-zope packages will go away soon
