After removing two retired devs from metadata some packages...

While removing maintainers from metadata i realised (not for the first
time) that i don't understand metadata :/
I thought it might be a good idea to add a new herd (maintainer-needed)
for packages where the maintainer has left. I think it will make it
easier for bugwranglers to assign

No. It goes to maintainer-needed and only is a candidate for removal if
it is broken or has a serious security flaw and isn't patched upstream.

To me maintainer-needed is always a first step before a package gets

Agreed. Set the herd to maintainer-needed. Since there isn't an actual
maintainer-needed herd, there's no need to add it to herds.xml

After thinking about this for awhile I'll just mask (and remove in a
week or two) y-windows for now, as it is the only package with
outstanding bugs. libiterm-mbt is a hacked version of libiterm and can
be replaced by the cjk herd at their leisure.

Usually you will want to check bugs.gentoo.org before querying on this

Thanks for your reply.
Is it possible to put your complete steps along with links to custom code you've done in the gentoo wiki?
I'd very much like to try and replicate what you have done.
