If you have a crate at rust's crates.io that you can no longer maintain (or if you no longer want to hold the name) you can abandon it here. A team of people will make sure that if anyone wants to maintain or use your crate name, they will be able to.
- transfer ownership to this group via the
cargo command
cargo owner --add github:rust-crates:reclaimers
- Open a ticket.
In the ticket put the following:
- whether you want to completely abandon the crate -- in which case all versions will be yanked and the name will be up for grabs.
- whether you want a new maintainer -- in which case we will try our best to respect that wish.
You can view all abandoned crates by looking at this repo's branches
If you would like to be the new owner/maintainer of a crate, open a ticket. A volunteer will work with you to get that to happen.
