Those details don't really matter, because the point it's not realistic to expect a company with so many projects and users like GitHub to be making those kind of individual calls.
You don't really own part or any of the project if you don't have administrative access to it. It's that simple. If you feel like you should, then you need to arrange that with the person who currently does.
These are project organizational issues that GitHub shouldn't be expected to waste their time on.

GitHub is the home for many open source projects and should care for the needs of their community. The organization on GitHub was registered by an individual on behalf of the open source project. Now that the person can no longer be contacted, control needs to be transferred to someone else representing the open source project. It's that simple.
- marshray 8y ago> it's not realistic to expect a company with so many projects and users like GitHub to be making those kind of individual calls While I agree with that logic on some level, this sounds exactly like the same arguments that every tech company uses to detach itself from the social consequences of the service it provides.
