Is it possible for the package to be handed over to GNU? There might
not be a programmer at this time who is interested in maintaining it and
ownership could be given to an organization so that if/when someone does
want to adopt it, it would then be possible to assign ownership to that
person(s). Otherwise, it’s possible that the package could become
orphaned with no ability to transfer ownership. Perhaps GNU could set
up a second Emacs-Lisp Package Archive for such packages where authors
can no longer maintain a package but do not want them to become
orphaned.
