[R-pkg-devel] Re-submission of removed package

I would if the maintainer really is unavailable but it is possible that
it's just a rather long vacation so I'm happy to wait while, especially
since the package remains available on github regardless.

But just to confirm, there aren't any shorter term workarounds that'd bring
the package back without changing maintainers? If so I will give a bit more
time before re-submitting with myself as the maintainer.

Cheers,
Ogan

I have been trying to reach the maintainer to resubmit the package
after the required fixes but was unsuccessful in doing so. I have
submitted the package myself but it appears that it requires approval
from the creator to finalise submission which I am unsure if we'll
get. What is the procedure to follow in this case?

Would you like to become the maintainer instead?

Here's what CRAN policy has to say:

Explain any change in the maintainer?s email address and if possible
send confirmation from the previous address (by a separate email to
CRAN-submissions at R-project.org) or explain why it is not possible.

I think you can change the Maintainer: field and note the original
maintainer being unreachable in the submission comment. I would expect
it to take some time to confirm that the original maintainer is
actually unavailable.
