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.
... and if in doubt, ask the CRAN team and give them details.
