IMHO there is no need to *ask* users the permission to move a package in
[community]; users already know "their" packages can be moved in
an official repo, it seems to me only a waste of time (but I agree is a
good etiquette to notify the user).

Moreover, I wonder what would you do if a user denied the permission to
move a package in an official repo...

P.s.

Well, good point. I was brief and perhaps too much so above.

Basically on my initlal contact I would ask them if there was any reason they did NOT want the package moved into community (by me).
