Hmm, apparently I confused people even more, so let me summarize my
proposal:
Basically I want to replace all <herd>foo</herd> tags in metadata.xml
with <maintainer><email>foo-alias@gentoo.org</email></maintainer>, 
just like ordinary maintainers are listed.
And instead of using a manually maintained herds.xml get list of team
members either directly from the mail alias definitions or
indirectly from some auto-generated (and eventually filtered)
plaintext file.

In the beginning, there was nothing. And God said, 'Let there be
Light.' And there was still nothing, but you could see a bit better.
