1 Okay, I'll set the metadata.xml for both net-p2p/litecoin* and
2 sys-process/nmon to the following:
3
4 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
5 <!DOCTYPE pkgmetadata SYSTEM "http://www.gentoo.org/dtd/metadata.dtd">
6 <pkgmetadata>
7 <maintainer type="person">
8 <email>marc.popp@×××××××××××××××.de</email>
9 <name>Marc Popp</name>
10 <description>Maintainer. Assign bugs to him</description>
11 </maintainer>
12 <maintainer type="project">
13 <email>proxy-maint@g.o</email>
14 <name>Proxy Maintainers</name>
15 </maintainer>
16 </pkgmetadata>

19 Also there's some debate in IRC about whether or not these packages
20 should be lastrited or dropped to maintainer-needed. These forks are
21 not in good shape upstream, so I think it makes better sense to
22 p.mask/lastrite and then move them to the graveyard overlay when I
23 remove them from the tree in 30 days.

25 I haven't acted yet, so there's still time to bikeshed ;)
