I've used it (not for abuse). It's simply volunteering to maintain the package after previous maintainer(s) have explicitly disowned it, knowing they no longer have time for it or don't care because they stopped using it, etc.
- gchamonlive 2mo agoProblem is that there is no KYC process before someone can adopt any orphaned package
- OJFord 2mo agoYeah, I don't disagree there should be more of a barrier, I remember being surprised I could just adopt things. Just explaining the intended use.
- yjftsjthsd-h 2mo agoThere's also no KYC process for creating one.
- OJFord 2mo agoThere is more risk in someone adopting something with established users though. Some people (cough) might be a bit less careful if they see something has tonnes of users, votes, comments; people actively using and liking the package.
