1 To all developers that take part in the bughunt, and those that don't. Please
2 keep in mind the following guideline. Please only commit an ebuild in either
3 of these conditions:
4 - You are going to be maintaining it, and have found a herd whose maintainers
5 agreed to take it over when you will not be able to maintain it anymore.
6 - You are member of the herd that will maintain it.
7 - The maintainers of a herd have agreed to the ebuild, but you commit it for
8 them.
9 - You have announced a new herd on gentoo-dev@g.o and there have not
10 been objections against the start of this herd. This herd will then be
11 maintaining the package.

15 ps. In the future herds will be the responsibility of projects. Projects can
16 only be started when agreed upon by the manager of the parent project. As
17 that structure is not yet in place you can now still create a herd, but do so
18 only if you can assemble a team to manage the ebuilds in it (in fact forming
19 a project)
