Taking over a project from an inactive manager

Asked by Cam Andrever-Wright

Hi there,
The current manager of my language's (Cornish (KW)) project is inactive and has been for years. Is there any way I can take over as manager of the translation project?

Hi!

I see that you were accepted as a member of the team on 2022-04-28. With that you have access to submit Cornish translations to packages at Launchpad.

So I'm not sure why you ask. There are cases where the owner/administrator(s) of a team are unreachable, so new translators can't join the team. But that seems not to be the case here.

Please clarify.

This question was expired because it remained in the 'Needs information' state without activity for the last 15 days.

Hi there Gunnar,
Despite allowing me to join, the admin is inactive. I'd like to become our team's admin so I can ensure someone is actively moderating the project.

I actually messaged him at the time I posted this question, and I haven't had any response from him, so I have no idea if he has any intention of carrying on with contributions to and administration of our translation team.

Hi Cam, you submitted this question here before trying to contact me. Despite forgetting about your message, I am usually contactable on Facebook or email so if I forget please keep trying!

You haven't contributed any translations yet, but once you become active here I'll make you an admin.

Best
