While removing maintainers from metadata i realised (not for the first |
| 3 |
time) that i don't understand metadata :/ |

I thought it might be a good idea to add a new herd (maintainer-needed) |
| 6 |
for packages where the maintainer has left. I think it will make it |
| 7 |
easier for bugwranglers to assign bugs |
| 8 |
transparent that the maintainance situation has changed |
| 9 |
trackable |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
To me maintainer-needed is always a first step before a package gets |
| 12 |
masked and removed from the tree. |

Well, i was told that adding the maintainer-needed herd is not a good |
| 15 |
idea and it is best to remove metadata.xml if no valuable information |
| 16 |
remains. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
I couldn't find information on that. Can somebody explain? |

What is the next step after the last maintainer is removed from metadata.xml? |
| 24 |
Well i announced these packages on -dev. Now i can wait some time (how |
| 25 |
long?) and then? |
