It's not irrelevant; you're just not reading it properly. You might
notice that metadata.xml contains tags other than <herd>, like, say,
<maintainer>. In the example that sparked this, <herd> is games and
<maintainer> the individual dev who maintains it. Simple enough, no?

A herd has always been a group of packages for as long as I can recall,
which is about two years now. It's nothing new at all. Packages in that
herd can be maintained by a developer or a project, or by the group of
herd maintainers if there are no specific arrangements.
