Actually i haven't yet really thought about how to transition concretely.
But having an official announce and then contacting maintainers on an individual
basis seem natural.
But the announce can only happen after we are set ready to start.
> 1. I want to maintain all changes to my file. Please don't touch it beyond
> what I send you. I commit to be responsive enough for this to work.
> 2. I want to do all "big" changes and feature additions, but "small" changes
> and bugfixes can be done by the team. I will maintain my files in a way
> that changes will not be lost from the runtime repository.
> 3. I want to remain the official maintainer of the file, but the file belongs
> to the Vim community. Do what you will with it, I'll submit changes like
> any other contributor.
> 4. I do not wish to be the maintainer anymore. Please take it on as a group
> effort or find someone else.
5. We need to know who is an active member of the community. If you are still
interested in maintaining your files make sure that the email address that
is shiped with your files is up to date and functional.
If we do not hear from you within the next 3 months or the email we send
to you bounces we consider you to be MIA.
In that case we *regard your files to be without current maintainer* and
put them under the provsion of the vim community.
