Dear Bioc Developer,
I would like to add another person as developer and maintainer of my package IsoGeneGUI. Please let me know the procedure for that. Look forward to your suggestion. Thank you.
Best regards,
Setia

Dear Setia

just edit the ?DESCRIPTION? file.

For maintainers, note the CRAN Repository Policy at http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/policies.html which I think we generally also apply in Bioconductor: "The package?s DESCRIPTION file must show both the name and email address of a single designated maintainer (a person, not a mailing list). That contact address must be kept up to date, and be usable for information mailed by the CRAN team without any form of filtering, confirmation "

See also http://www.bioconductor.org/developers/package-guidelines/#responsibilities

Hi Setia,

you will probably also need an account with write permissions to the
package SVN for the new maintainer. For this its probably best to
contact Dan Tenenbaum <dtenenba at fhcrc.org>

Cheers,
Andrzej

Yes, please contact me (off-list) with the name/email address of the new developer and the name of the package.
