Make an ABANDONED PAUSE user and give modules to it?



I thought of that, but unless somehow the modules came out of PETDANCE  
into ABANDONED's directory, I still look like the owner.

Rig some automation so ABANDONED verifies the legitimacy of the
abandonor, then gets the latest version, bumps the version number,
adds some THIS MODULE IS AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION boilerplate, and
republishes?

Why not create an ABANDONED pause ID?  Then you could just assign ownership to 
that.  Er, or they'd have to make a release, wouldn't they?
