I think best would be to establish convention for this, pretty much like 
SourceForge has.

So there would be some timewindow so if there is no commits or such 
plugin could be declared "abandoned" (I think Alec had plans to automate 
this). After plugin is declared abandoned you could do claim for 
maintenance rights and if nothing prevents it, you're next happy 
maintainer - until you abandon your plugin.. :)
