Dear Jonas, your reaction seems to imply that hijacking is an implicit statement of failure. But this can be dis-ambiguated by thanking the maintainer for his past work, bringing the package in a team where everybody is welcome, which is not the same as moving it between two single maintainers, and by underlining that the reason for transferring the package to a team is that the mainainer, while not on vacation, could not be contacted. There is indeed a problem with packages not maintained by DDs as they can not formally declare themselves on vacation, but search engines would be able to find such a statement on mailing lists if it had been posted. I think that it is important to have the flexibility to transfer a package for which the maintainer is not responding, in a neutral way that is not making any judgement on why he is not responding.
