Someone online said to just submit the update, CRAN will send one email to the new address confirming the submission, and another to the old address confirming the new maintainer. Yes, that's true. Someone else said to email CRAN from the old address about the new maintainer and their address, and wait for a response of approval before submission. It was unclear if that would be cran-submissi...@r-project.org or c...@r-project.org, but I'd guess the first. THis is also a true option. Personally I'd prefer the first way. Has anyone else done this before or does anyone know the best procedure? Also, given that this isn't a transfer of ownership, I'm still the same person with a different name, would that make this process easier? Same process as we do not know whether it is the same person behind the other mail address. Best, Uwe Ligges Thank you!

Just submit your package, and you'll get an automated email to the old address. Hadley On Sat, Apr 8, 2023 at 7:14 AM Andrew Simmons wrote: > > Hi, > > > I'm changing my name and my email address.
