Sure. Or I could show you how to setup a herd ;-) The process I follow is this: a) check the affected packages, and make a list of the maintainers b) ask those devs whether they'd like to join the new herd - if too many say no, then it's best to abandon the herd idea c) decide on a name and email alias for the herd - <herd>@gentoo.org is our preferred name for now d) ask infra to create a mail alias for <herd>@gentoo.org e) register a bugzilla account for <herd>@gentoo.org f) update herds.xml in gentoo/misc/ g) announce it on gentoo-dev h) update metadata.xml in all affected packages Improvements etc gratefully received.
