Oh, I definitely agree with you that communication should be more active, it's just that right now this is more left to the new maintainer to do. On Github, everyone's email is public anyway, so the new maintainer could message the old one. I don't think Github/Gitlab provide any automated way to send people messages (short of creating a new issue and mentioning people). Actually, creating an issue on a maintainer joining might be a good idea, I will look into it. Other than that, we have to take many scenarios into account (many people don't want to talk to the new maintainer, for example, because the project is completely abandoned). We should definitely add something, though. I'll see if we can automatically add issues that will be something like "Introduce yourself" with a body of "Hello @maintainer1, @maintainer2! @newmaintainer just joined, please say hi". I have opened an issue if you want to contribute: https://gitlab.com/codeshelter/codeshelter-web/issues/34 https://gitlab.com/codeshelter/codeshelter-web/issues/34
