Node could implement something like an "ethical transfer of responsibility for packaging" clause for their code of conduct. I'd like to see that.
I'd also like to see something like StavrosK mentioned in his comment[1] about https://codeshelter.co https://codeshelter.co made a part of this. When a maintainer gets an email for a long-dormant project of theirs, the maintainer needs options. One of those should probably be to yield the package back to the community. A "code shelter" is one way of doing that.
Then the question of, "How do we vet maintainers at scale?" comes up. All I really know is it'd take a financial & human capital investment in Node community infrastructure to make it happen.
I think it's in Node's best interest to do so. These highly prolific maintainers like dominictarr are prime targets for black hats. Overworked, underpaid, huge product portfolio they manage. Who among us wouldn't be grateful for the interest & help?
So Node should invest in fixing this.
