Comment on Void Linux project leader has disappearedparent

How is that related? You can easily be active on a GitHub account and still check your email infrequently.

Fair enough, though always_good is replying to a situation where the user is neither.

But that's a policy on name-squatting. Something that doesn't apply here. The creator isn't squatting on the name they created and I would be surprised if Github would commute the name at their discretion unless considerable time passed, something I don't necessarily have a problem with on a long enough time scale. Though there there's a point on that time scale where I'd expect the new owners to just consider a new name.

Inactive accounts may be renamed or removed by GitHub staff at their discretion.

1. Github rename Void Linux to Void2 Linux as per above policy.

2. Register Void Linux to existing team.

3. Fork Void2 Linux as Void Linux.

Problem solved.
