The mail-filter/milter-regex ebuild already uses user/group 'milter', and for the currently open bump to version 2.7 I'd like to claim GID/UID 438.
I recently cited the "milter" user on this list as a bad example from the user.eclass days... it was used by at least three unrelated packages: milter-regex, opendmarc, and opendkim. I fixed opendkim, of course, but it looks like opendmarc still uses "milter" as its user, too.
Now would be a good time to switch them to unique accounts, since neither package should be able to access the other's files. The obvious choice for opendmarc is "opendmarc", and that's even what upstream defaults to -- we sed it to "milter" in Gentoo.
I guess we could keep "milter" for only regex-milter, but that has the disadvantage that it messes with the opendmarc package in the meantime. Upstream uses "_milter-regex", and according to the PMS that's... actually... a legal package name? How do people feel about that? It's insane, for sure; but I'm too tired to tell if it's good insane or bad insane.
