Metadata.xml specifies a herd for a package. That means that when there is no |
| 12 |
individual maintainer (or he/she fails to do his duty) that package is |
| 13 |
maintained by whomever maintain the herd. In this case the project members of |
| 14 |
the games project maintain the games herd. This means that they will maintain |
| 15 |
the package if there is no named maintainer or he/she leaves, is unavailable, |
| 16 |
etc. |
