abandoned crates

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.

Process for abandoning your crate

• 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.

Process for claiming a crate

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.
