Maybe I wasn't very clear in my earlier message, but I wanted to get a discussion going here among the project owners as a first step in formalizing our adoption policy. I thought that would be better than coming up with a formal policy behind the scenes and then presenting it as a done deal to this group. Scott, you've made your point about how you think an adoption policy should work and that will be taken into consideration. We'll also take into consideration everyone else's opinion about how this should work. If the project owners as a whole can't reach consensus on this, then the admins will act in good faith to come up with a formal policy that best fits the needs of the community. We have been running the site for almost 7 years and we have not had an issue with handing owner project ownership until now. In most cases the owner really has abandoned a project and can't be found or the owner has been willing to either hand over a project or work with a new developer. I think it will be the rare case where a new project will need to be created based on a fork of a different project's code.
