At least for some packages I'm involved with, this will result in me |
| 8 |
deleting myself from metadata.xml (but I'd rather not do so). |

I like these bugs to go to the herd, not me directly. I get the bug mail |
| 11 |
anyway (I'm in the herd) but sometimes other herd members who see the |
| 12 |
mail jump in and help resolve the bug, for which I'm very grateful. |

That aside, I like having myself in the metadata alongside the herd, to |
| 15 |
point out that I am the primary maintainer within the herd for the |
| 16 |
package in question. It is also useful for others so that when they have |
| 17 |
questions about the package, they know who to approach on IRC or whatever. |

Apart from those small concerns, I like the idea of what you are proposing. |
