I can't speak for other developers, but what I did with Net_Curl when  
I took it over was to put my name below the two past maintainers in  
the main docblock. The list in package.xml is <maintainers></ 
maintainers> not <authors></authors> so I removed them (as they are  
no longer maintaining Net_Curl), however, they are still in the code  
as being others of Net_Curl.

Also, I believe, the 2.0 version of package.xml provides some relief  
for such problems.
