Hi people,

I've already noticed a few people assigning to the new aliases, but
forgetting to put appropriate herds on the CC. This was mentioned in the
previous thread, but not everybody may have read that one. 

So please keep in mind:

  If a bug is submitted for a package of interest to a certain herd,
  regardless whether the package is new or already in the tree and 
  without maintainer, it is usually best to put the herd on the CC.

That way if someone steps up to maintain the package and comments, 
the herd is immediately notified. Also if the herd itself wants to take
a new package under its wing, it can reassign the bug.

Thanks,
Maurice.
