Giving up a project

If you are no longer capable of maintaining your project, please add a note to your project page and ask in the forums whether someone is willing to take over maintenance. The development mailing list is another good place to ask for volunteers. Proper communication is key so make sure to mark your project as orphaned.

If you are unable to find anyone to take it over and wish to completely disassociate yourself from the project, you can hand it over to the Abandoned Modules placeholder user. If you don't have access to do this yourself, file an issue in the webmaster's queue.

If you found a new maintainer or if you are willing to maintain an orphaned project, you should read the CVS applications Guidelines which contains information on the correct process for project takeover. Existing CVS account holders should then submit a task to the Drupal.org webmasters issue queue to request an ownership transfer (there's even an issue component called "Project ownership" you should use when submitting the task). Users who do not currently have a CVS account should then apply for an account quoting the "takeover" project issue (described in the guidelines) in their application.
