This makes sense to me as well.

Summary:

Maintainer requesting ownership of an owned package => request is queued
Dropping ownership => at will
Taking orphans => at will
Maintainer transfer => Present owner should be able to reassign to a new
owner within cvsextras.
Orphaned packages have ACLs dropped back to "open for cvsextras."
