I have been tasked with writing a Drupal 7 flashcard module, and would like to use this namespace. As I make progress, I will post my code to a sandbox, with the intention of moving it here once I've followed all of the steps of dealing with abandoned projects.

I've made reasonable progress on my sandbox and will be doing more work starting next week.
The current module is for Drupal 4.7, and the author seems to have been inactive on d.o for over a year, and this project for over 4 years.

I am already a 'vetted Git user'.

Tim, I see you didn't open a support request to take this over (in the modules issue queue), I'm not sure of the official line here but that module has no users afaikt, no issues and no updates for a billion years, so appears to be well and truly abandoned.

Maybe open that issue, wait the two weeks and this could happen strait away, +1 for Tim taking over the namespace.

If you look up further in the issue, you will see this was filed exactly 2 weeks ago, as a support request in the queue, and was then moved here. That is the instruction given in step #4 of "Dealing with abandoned projects", which I linked to in the OP. I also attempted to contact the module maintainer via his contact link, and in IRC.

+1 for following the rules!

Ar, I see you moved the issue, I didn't see that, I just looked in the modules issue queue, my bad.

So no issue here, can't see why this shouldn't proceed immediately. +1.

Hello, Suuch.

I am writing you because tim.plunkett (http://drupal.org/user/241634) offered to maintain the module.
Please reply on http://drupal.org/node/1149320. If you don't reply before two weeks, the ownership of the module will be passed to tim.plunkett.

Best regards,

I sent a message along those lines 19 days ago, with no response. "Dealing with abandoned projects" says nothing about emailing them twice...
