I disagree. I believe the developer should have priority and be given the ownership as soon as possible. You don't have to wait the maintainer kiss good bye e hug the build. It is just a build script.
I concur, but it's rude for us to just barge in like that. It's a simple matter between the developer and the buildscript maintainer, so it's best left up to them to contact each other, and then if the maintainer tries anything funny (or does not try anything at all) we disown it.
A 7-day or next-weekend grace period is good for things like this (for the maintainer to respond to the orphan request). I had once orphaned a package for a developer who didn't even claim it (synfig*), but it took me a while before I read and replied to the e-mail outlining a build-related matter.

I understand, just thought the process was a little too much bureaucratic for the developer. I maintain some packages and I would not feel violated by the TUs over something like this but maybe that is just me. I don't think it would be rudeness but maybe I'm really kinda rude, so my words don't count for much. :) Cheers
