Well, yes, you don't email a herd per se (if we strictly stick to these |
21 |
terms :)), but rather maintainers associated with it (via some project or |
22 |
listed in herds.xml). Above is just a mechanism that makes sure your email |
23 |
gets delivered to the right people. But we really now just do nitpicking of |
24 |
the terminology (which, although, the original message by Seemant was about). |
25 |
I just wanted to mention aliases to clarify the connection between packages, |
26 |
maintainers and herds.xml/metadata.xml. |
