Excerpts from Marc Weber's message of Fri Dec 31 08:44:02 +0100 2010:

E) new password request the way its known by other sites:
  - receive mail
  - click link
  - reset password

F) add a way to change a password

G) hide script (we don't have to delete it)?
  only maintainers / authors should be able to hide a script

E) bug tracking system or url field?
   It should be KISS simple: You have to have an account.
   states: open, closed

   actions:
   - create
   - close
   - add comment

Usually a site such as www.vim.org should not be abused to reinvent the
wheel. However most Vim scripts are very small and not all are hosted on
github or the like (?)

About the "reasons" of downvoting: Of course they should be visible to
everyone. Maybe maintainers should be able to add comments so that you
can correct false claims.

About the PHP.net style comments: Yes, they can be messy. However
sometimes they also contain valuable contents (maybe 1 out of 10
messages are useful and that could be worth it. In fact we could add a
voting system and hide comments which have a very bad voting
automatically)

About changing ownership: Bram wants to be very conservative.
So maybe this should be manually.
I can't even think about a system would make sense to track
"orphandness" or the like.
A possibilty could be users adding claims such as

date |
xxx  | tried contacting by mail f...@host but no reply
....

However you can see that this is not easy to get right. So for now I'd
like to skip this idea and do it the usual way: Post to the mailinglist
- hope for replies. Its archived so you can look it up later as well.

Maybe this should be documented (?)
