Well, I'd like to point out that this GLEP does not propose any changes to
how herds and teams should be organized.
For that I've written this:
    http://dev.gentoo.org/~dev-zero/glep/glep-team.html

In the current metastructure you (the gnomies) don't form one team which
maintains the packages in the 3 herds gnome{,-mm,-office} but it's rather 3
teams (implicitly defined by the corresponding herds).
I know this sounds really nitpicking.

Now, to get the things done we have two possibilities:
i) do the changes to metadata.xml, herds.xml and create teams.xml (if the
council approves the GLEP once completed) and then adjust our metastructure
to what the XML schemas (DTD or XSD) describe
or
ii) change our metastructure to allow teams to be explicitly defined and
describe the relationship between devs, teams, herds and projects properly
and then change the XML schemas to match the organizational structure.
