[R-pkg-devel] Transferring a package to a new maintainer

[Uwe Ligges]

The new maintainers submits a new version (increased version number, 
updated maintainer information in the DESCRIPTION file).
You (/the old maintainer) will be automatically asked to confirm the 
submission once the update passes incoming checks.

Best,
Uwe Ligges
