This is what the original metastructure policy said, which means it |
| 12 |
happened something like three years ago. The original point of herds |
| 13 |
was as a fallback rather than as a primary maintainer. This obviously |
| 14 |
isn't how things are done currently... A GLEP revising the role of |
| 15 |
herds and adding in maintainer-needed would be useful. I'm not going to |
| 16 |
be around over the weekend, but if no-one else has written something up |
| 17 |
by whenever I get back I'll throw a draft together... |
