You can talk to the existing co-maintainers and see what you/they would
like to do?
I co-maintain openlayers with Christian.
First, I must say that Christian has usually not been very responsive to
emails I wrote him, but it seems he just is usually very busy, as when
he actually responded, he would respond several of my emails in a row.
Now, on to openlayers. I became a co-maintainer because I relied on it
for a personal project... that I more or less abandoned.
So while I'm all for remaining a co-maintainer and helping the new
maintainer out if the package is being orphaned from Christian, I'm not
sure I want to be its primary maintainer.
