Not speaking for CRAN here but my understanding always was that a full and
complete 'email handshake' with both old and new maintainer was strongly
preferred / the default simply to prevent misunderstandings or shenanigans.
I'd agree in the normal case where the package is still active on CRAN.
In the case where a package has unaddressed issues with no response to
CRAN from the maintainer, they'd probably be quite happy to have someone
volunteer to take over.
