Hi, I'm not sure if this is the proper way to do, but I have a little bit more than 400 packages in my private overlay of ros packages (http://www.ros.org/). At a quick glance, I'd say half (or maybe a bit less) of it are worth mainlining to gentoo-x86. I could assign metadata.xml to myself, but I think it'd be better to have a herd for it to put there instead. It's been a looong time I've not seen nor participated in a herd creation, but I've been told it's just a matter of having an email alias, so here we go: alias: ros members: aballier Thanks!
That depends on what you want: 1. If you want a plain mail alias, it's just us creating the alias. 2. If you want a herd (for<herd>), you will also need to add it to herds.xml. 3. If you want a project, you need to create a wiki page as well.

If you want a herd (for<herd>), you will also need to add it to herds.xml. yes, that's what I want at first; I think only infra can create the mail alias and bugzilla account while at it, where is herds.xml stored these days ? > 3. If you want a project, you need to create a wiki page as well. this can wait but will likely be needed some day (for docs)
The alias should be operational now, and the bugzilla account has been created. Now, if you want a herd as well, the file is in data/api.git. If you want a project, you know what to do ;-).
great, I've just updated herds.xml there let's close the bug as there's nothing left to do for infra thanks!
