Since this whole thing turned into a huge mess where people keep bringing solutions to their own problems without defining them, I'm going to try to organize this into smaller topics which should be suitable for discussion. If someone could improve this split, I'd appreciate. 1. Herds vs projects. Are projects enough? Don't we need a 'more lightweight' maintainer groups that don't have a wiki page? 2. Group e-mail addresses. Aren't they supposed to be unique? Should more than one project share the same e-mail alias? How is that supposed to work when the projects can have different members? (related: e-mail alias autogeneration) 3. Wiki as reference project metadata store. We already kept project metadata in website and we all know how it all turned out. Moving them to wiki sounded fine when the alternative was CVS but we have proj/api.git know. (don't confuse this with exporting the data) 4. Wording. If we decide that projects are enough, can we make 'herd' a synonym of 'project', and avoid unnecessary renames? 5. Herd/project names vs e-mail addresses. How to make them more consistent and ease bug assignments? (related: metadata.xml) 6. Autogeneration of mail aliases. Do we want it? How should it work? 7. Future of herds.xml. Should we autogenerate it from Wiki or replace with another file serving the same purpose? 8. Changes in metadata.xml. How to solve the issue of ordering between and ? Can be related to solving the issue of bug assignment when project e-mail doesn't match the name. 9. Backwards compatibility. How much effort will be required to fix all the software? Is the change worth the effort? What about semi-external services which Gentoo users use but are unlikely to be fixed in short time? I hope this covers all the ideas that have been floating around here. -- Best regards, Michał Górny
