Agreed. Set the herd to maintainer-needed. Since there isn't an actual |
| 6 |
maintainer-needed herd, there's no need to add it to herds.xml or |

| 14 |
jeeves, so it *is* valuable to have maintainer-needed in there. |

Everything should have metadata. Removing it only adds more work for |
| 19 |
someone else later. |

Reassign all bugs open for the package to maintainer-needed. |
