Hey,
I'm not aware of any MIA procedures or teams like Debian has them.
They try to track down inactive maintainers and can eventually orphan
a package, essentially releasing it and allowing someone else to take
over.
However, https://wiki.python.org/moin/CheeseShopDev mentions in the ToDO:
* documented procedures for "taking over" entries should the original
owner of the entry go away (and any required system support)
Seems to suggest there is some kind of way/procedure but I can't find
any other reference to it.

Hey there,
I've submitted a pull request on GitHub[0] for the package Flask-Redis[1] 6 months ago. It didn't contain anything of real importance, but I haven't heard back from the developer since then. I've contacted him both via Twitter and email, to no avail. Is there any way to take over the package in these cases? I figured this would be a small enough package to start my open source career off with.

Excuse me if this is irrelevant (as this list usually seems to accomodate for more technical talk), #python directed me here with my question.
Thanks!
