There are many packages hosted on <package>.apache.org like e.g. dev-java/log4j-core -> https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/ dev-java/pdfbox -> https://pdfbox.apache.org/ net-libs/serf -> https://serf.apache.org/ Some of them have wrong remote-id type="github" even though they build from mirror://apache. A new Upstream <remote-id type="apache"> would allow setting remote-id to the correct value for those packages. I am aware of https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Quality_Assurance/Upstream_remote-id_types#Adding%20a%20new%20remote-id but guess that's not doable within a PR.

Created attachment 835437 [details, diff] 'add apache to metadata.xsd'
(To be clear, the remote-id on github is intentional and i'd like to keep it anyway just because it makes it very easy to quickly get to source code, and afaik the mirrors are official.)
Can you send the patches to the gentoo-dev ML?
