To make this possible we don't need a change of lppl. = If the author wants to
stop maintaining a package and wants to allow someone = else to maintain it, he
simply can add something like

        Everybody = is allowed to become new maintainer of The Programm
        simply = declaring this at comp.text.tex. This ist only
        allowed, = if no newer version    of This Programm is = available
        on CTAN. = The new maintainer must immediate delete this
        paragraph = from the licence of The Programm, add a new support
        address = and release The Programm.

My english is very bad, but I think you will = understand the sence.

BTW: I never used the term "or (at your option) = any later version" at the
license part of my packages, because I fear such = surprising new paragraphs at
LPPL.
