Why should they be handled differently from any other packages whose
maintainers are suspected of doing a bad job? The delays in taking over
packages are big even when the people in question haven't resigned. It's
just something we live with, in my opinion.
Developers resign infrequently, and usually explicitly orphan any
remaining packages they have. Thus I don't see the need for a formal
procedure to handle this; we have enough procedures and bureacracy
already. Common sense and good sense applied on a case-by-case basis
seems reasonable to me.
