You have two possibilities: a) Introduce new elements: <tags> <tag>foo</tag> <tag>bar</tag> </tags> b) Think of herds as tags, then you have many packages already tagged. To be able to add new herds/tags without messing up with the maintainer-info, I'd then introduce new attributes for <maintainer> and instead of writing <herd>foo</herd> meaning that a package is maintainer by team "foo" just write <maintainer type="team">foo</maintainer> instead. Then you can use the "herd" element in metadata.xml freely as a tag.
