How to transfer ownership of an AUR package

Hello everyone,

I'm the creator of Pomsky and a contributor (but not owner) of the pomsky-bin AUR package. The owner wants to transfer ownership to me (since I am the one who develops Pomsky), but isn't sure how it is done. If the current owner disowns the package, would I automatically become the owner as the only other contributor? If not, how is it done?

Ask the owner to make you a Co-Maintainer. Then they can disown the package and you will automatically become the Maintainer.

Thanks for clearing that up! I'm already a co-maintainer, so it's even simpler
