When is there a need for a maintainer to get ownership of another package 
without wanting the original owner to transfer it? The only case I can think 
of is when the actual owner of a package is AWOL. But in this case it should 
be made sure that all of his packages are taken care of, so that the correct 
workflow should be a request to orphan all packages of a maintainer and then 
pick the package one wants to adopt.
What may be useful, would be to queue the request for the owner of the 
regarding package, so that a maintainer can ask another maintainer via the 
packageDB for a package and then it is transfered.

I think that this transfer should be acknowleged by the new owner before it 
takes place, to make sure it is wanted by both sides.
