I don't mind seeing packages moved into [community], much to the contrary. But as Xyne said, communication would be nice. If some TU were to ask me 'can I adopt this package and put it in [community]', why would I say no? Why would anyone, for that matter? :-)
What's the point of asking then? To waste everyone's time? : D
I'd just like to be noticed before, and not after. Of course it's not a democracy, but communication isn't a synonym of democracy ;-).
I think leaving a comment on the package's page before "stealing" it is enough. The maintainer should get notified via e-mail if he has enabled notifications for that package (which for new packages is enabled by default).
