It is remarkably similar to the request which only just recently got me into trouble, with the slight difference that there may be a trademark issue which I am definitely not able to address. Therefore I am extremely hesitant to actually grant the request. It certainly falls under the final statement in the written-up policy:

"Transfer will not be performed where an individual or project wishes to take ownership of a name because they feel the current owner has left it stagnating, or even broken, in the absence of the above transfer conditions."

Your thoughts, as always, are welcome.
