16 As the previously stated goal was to get rid of herds, I don't
17 understand why you want to reintroduce them as a value of the
18 type attribute. The existing herd elements should become either
19 type="project" or type="team" (everything that is not a project,
20 I suppose).

26 "proxy-maintainer" is very confusing because you won't put the proxy
27 maintainer there, but the user who is being proxied. Please rename
28 to something like "proxied" (assuming that this exists as a word in
29 English) or "by-proxy".
