I don't get it, OSS has owners? Cant you just transfer a fork? I just do corporate politics by first being an employee who does everything within reason to help the work progress. Eventually this builds towards managers acting in my interest. If they fail to do that I start removing myself from such extra activities. If you wrote some great software they can use you should transfer it since they will find ways to reward you for doing such things... unless you know they wont, then you have to be a pain in the ass while reminding them what you've already selflessly done for them. Just be sure you are a nice guy and ask yourself if they are nice to you. If not, can you condition them to be nice? If not, take the legal route for everything.
