Open Letters scare me ... They remind me of the pseudo-beginning of mainstream, non-free software :) I'd say just do like Russ mentioned. Try to pull everything together in one repository. Then when it's mature and you still want to take over the project, contact the original author and see if he/

Once you build up a reputation as the package to have, if you don't at least hand over the project, you expose everyone to the pain of figuring out how to either use your code, or which is best place to get a forked version. It's certainly not hard to see that there are peop
