Description Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev

For example, this metadata.xml:
$ cat /usr/portage/app-emulation/libvirt/metadata.xml 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE pkgmetadata SYSTEM "http://www.gentoo.org/dtd/metadata.dtd">
<pkgmetadata>
<maintainer type="person">
	<email>tamiko@gentoo.org</email>
	<name>Matthias Maier</name>
	<description>Please assign bugs to me</description>
</maintainer>
<maintainer type="person">
	<email>cardoe@gentoo.org</email>
	<name>Doug Goldstein</name>
</maintainer>
<maintainer type="project">
	<email>virtualization@gentoo.org</email>
	<name>Gentoo Virtualization Project</name>
</maintainer>

If I run:
$ epkginfo -Hm app-emulation/libvirt
 * app-emulation/libvirt [gentoo]
None specified
tamiko@gentoo.org (Matthias Maier)
Please assign bugs to me
cardoe@gentoo.org (Doug Goldstein)
virtualization@gentoo.org (Gentoo Virtualization Project)

It is hard to know who is really the one I should assign bugs to, is that line referring to the above one or the line below?

This could be solved with an output like:
tamiko@gentoo.org (Matthias Maier) - Please assign bugs to me
cardoe@gentoo.org (Doug Goldstein)
virtualization@gentoo.org (Gentoo Virtualization Project)

There you go.  But I did have to add the description to that metadata/xml file
it will be in the next release (0.6.2) most likely.

brian@storm ~/Dev/git/gentoolkit $ epkginfo -Hm app-emulation/libvirt
 * app-emulation/libvirt [gentoo]
tamiko@gentoo.org (Matthias Maier) - Please assign bugs to me
