Sure, it would be polite to at least talk to the relevant herd maintainers before adding a package, but that holds regardless of whether you put it in the herd or not. Either way the bugs will go to the specific maintainer, so herds having bugs assigned to them that they don't care about isn't really an argument. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
