[Labs-l] Abandoned Labs tools

[Mr. Donald J. Fortier II]

Please comment on https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Abandoned_Labs_tools that I created per https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T87730 to create a process for usurping or otherwise being added as a maintainer to existing tools which appear to be abandoned.  As Coren points out,  the following three questions need some consideration:   
   - Under what criteria are tools considered "abandoned" and subject to being handed to someone else?
   - To whom are abandoned tools handed over?
   - What happens to credentials a tool may hold (for instance, bot accounts, OAUTH secrets, etc).
 I've also requested that a one-liner about this topic be added to the next tech news https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Guillaume_%28WMF%29&diff=11249286&oldid=10912536
