11 Does this include herd ?

13 For ml stuff, I usually put ml herd + non-gentoo proxy maint, meaning:
14 anyone with some knowledge of ml (ie in the herd) can commit, there is
15 no specific communication method with the non-gentoo maintainer, so
16 there is no need for me to be listed there.

18 Now, these packages have proxy-maint as co-herd, and I'd prefer people
19 that are not familiar with ml (ebuilds have their set of specificities)
20 not to blindly commit packages because it's proxy-maintained.

22 Alexis.
