Two notes here: - same name as herd requirement doesn't work for stuff like cron/mysql/postgresql/apache... i.e., system accounts. - needs to be done tree-wide (for packages that have metadata.xml at least :P - ebuilds w/o metadata is topic for another thread). Until it's completed, it's not useful - you still cannot rely upon the assumption that if herd alias ain't in <maintainer>, they don't maintain the thing. Otherwise yeah, +1 - and it's already done this way in many ebuilds, i.e., the herd alias is in <maintainer> as well. -- jakub
