    Similarly, if I come back in 2 years and see that Bob who adopted

    up the plugin?

    For sure if Bob is maintaining the plugin actively and has commits
    etc then Bob should be respected... but if Bob is don;t nothing and
    hasn't moved himself to Emeritus, should he be entitled to block me
    from picking the plugin back up?\


This all makes sense in a way, but then we get to choose between a really complex decision tree (what even counts as actively maintained?), or just improvising every time (i.e. have a vaguely defined judgment call in there somewhere).

I tend to agree this is getting way to complex given the limited value I can see in this.

What is an effective difference for such a one-year-restricted fast-track-reintroduced emeritus maintainer and a "real" maintainer that just not commit in a while? I mean, it appears simpleer to just keep being a maintainer...
