The herds have been deprecated by the Council and are being replaced by projects. For this reason, please decide on the fate of the herd stated in the summary and update [1] or state the request here. The common choices are: 1. Map the herd to an existing project (in this case all packages in the herd will be maintained by the project) -- let us know which project to use. 2. Create a new project for the herd -- create the wiki page, let us know the new mail alias name to be created, create the wiki page and let us know about it. 3. Decide to disband the herd -- just let us know (but keep it for now in herds.xml!), we'll replace it with individual maintainers when herds are removed.

As per the recent Council decision[1], the final deadline for herd -> project migration is 24th January 2016. If no action is taken for this herd by that time, any packages that do not have another maintainer will be reassigned to maintainer-needed. Common options include: mapping the herd to a new project, mapping it to an existing project, reassigning the packages to the herd maintainers, and reassigning to maintainer-needed. Please let me know ASAP about your intentions for this herd and I'll be happy to take care of it. 1: https://projects.gentoo.org/council/meeting-logs/20160110-summary.txt
Packages and their other maintainers: net-fs/autofs : dlan@ net-fs/curlftpfs : slyfox@ net-fs/davfs2 : proxy-maintainers, gokturk@binghamton.edu net-fs/libnfs : net-fs/ncpfs : net-fs/netatalk : net-fs/nfs4-acl-tools : net-fs/nfstest : prometheanfire@ net-fs/nfs-utils : net-fs/openafs : NP-Hardass@, bircoph@ net-fs/openafs-kernel : NP-Hardass@, bircoph@ net-fs/openafs-legacy : net-libs/libgssglue : net-libs/libnfsidmap : net-libs/librpcsecgss : net-libs/libtirpc : net-libs/rpc2 : net-nds/portmap : base-system net-nds/rpcbind : sys-libs/lwp : sys-libs/rvm :
in practice, i'm not sure the net-fs@ herd has been useful. it was just a logical grouping thrown together long ago for lack of better classification. i'd vote for moving nfs/rpc related projects to base-system@ directly and then orphaning/proxy-maint the rest. anyone else care ?
Thanks, orphaned packages reassigned & mapping updating.
