[R-pkg-devel] Transferring a package to a new maintainer
A related question. The same maintainer, but a new email address. Instruction said need an email from the old address to confirm changing to the new email... (but I lost access to the old email account). I guess the question is how do I prove I am the same person when I lost the old email account (even with same first and last name)? Try to update package ELYP best, Mai Zhou On Fri, Dec 12, 2025 at 4:27?AM Uwe Ligges <ligges at statistik.tu-dortmund.de> wrote:
The new maintainers submits a new version (increased version number, updated maintainer information in the DESCRIPTION file). You (/the old maintainer) will be automatically asked to confirm the submission once the update passes incoming checks. Best, Uwe Ligges On 12.12.2025 09:26, Joris Meys via R-package-devel wrote:
Dear all, I'm going to transfer the pim package on CRAN to a new maintainer, but
I'm not entirely certain how I'd go about this best. Do I submit the package with the updated DESCRIPTION file, or can they do that? Is there any other instance I need to inform in another way?
