I can envision a few different types of hijacks.
1. Hijacker attempts to contact existing maintainer, but they are
unresponsive
2. Hijacker attempts to contact existing maintainer, but they want to hold
onto the package even though it may be in disrepair
3. Hijacker uploads the package without talking to the existing maintainer
4. Hijacker attempts to contact existing maintainer, who passes off
maintenance, or fixes their package, etc. (in this case the hijack is
averted)
I was asking which one occurred.
