This would be a nice feature for github. Also, additionally, if there was an abandoned open source project that had no activity on it after a certain time period, and the project owner went AWOL, a user could petition to take it over, get X votes and it would be auto transferred over. The project owner could stop the process simply by logging into their user account.
