17 I'd say that the correct way to fix this is to fix the metadata schema
18 to be able to write something like this:
19
20 <maintainer>
21 <team>foo</team>
22 </maintainer>
23 <maintainer>
24 <dev>adev</dev>
25 </maintainer>
26 <maintainer>
27 <team>bar</team>
28 </maintainer>
29
30 or
31
32 <maintainer type="team">foo</maintainer>
33 <maintainer type="dev">adev</maintainer>
34 <maintainer type="team">bar</maintainer>
35
36 Because having to write this:
37
38 <herd>foo</herd>
39 <maintainer><email>adev@g.o</email></maintainer>
40 <herd>bar</herd>
41
42 is just nonsense.
43
44 Cheers,
