well, I already added myself as maintainer of sys-fs/jfsutils and I
happen to be a base-system maintainer. So goal already reached :)

Kind regards

Oh, there's also the three kernel-related eclasses. I think they should
to go kernel@ where most of the actual maintainers are.

sounds fine for both.  generally fs tools probably should live under
base-system for consistency.

Nothing wrong with consistency, but I'd prefer a package to be placed
under the base-system project because the base-system project members
intend to maintain it.  I don't want to see packages placed into
projects simply because they're similar to other packages in those
projects if it means they'll just be neglected.

I have no idea which is the case here.  If the base-system maintainers
want to maintain these two packages, have at it!  If not, leave it as
maintainer-needed.

if base-system@ isn't going to maintain it, we'll punt it from the herd

Definitely base-system, as xfsprogs is already maintained by them.

[gentoo-dev] Herd likely up for grabs: kernel-misc

[Michał Górny]

Hello, everyone.

The current maintainers of kernel-misc herd so far haven't replied to
our queries. If we don't get any reply in a week, we will be disbanding
it and looking for new maintainers for its packages.

Is anyone interested in keeping the herd as a whole and maintaining all
of its packages? If nobody replies till 2016-01-24, the herd will be
automatically disbanded and I will be sending a complete list of
packages needing maintainers.

Packages currently in herd along with their other maintainers:

app-doc/linux-device-drivers : 
app-misc/fdutils : 
app-misc/zisofs-tools: 
dev-libs/klibc   : 
sys-apps/kexec-tools : 
sys-devel/smatch : toolchain
sys-devel/sparse : toolchain
sys-fs/avfs  : proxy-maintainers, pete4...@comcast.net
sys-fs/ecryptfs-utils: crypto
sys-fs/fuse  : radhermit@
sys-fs/jfsutils  : 
sys-fs/lufis : 
sys-fs/siefs : 
sys-fs/sshfs-fuse: radhermit@
sys-kernel/linux-docs: mpagano@
sys-power/cpupower   : ssuominen@, floppym@
sys-process/schedtool:
