+## Abandoned Extensions {:#abandoned-extensions}
+
+A CiviCRM Extension may be abandoned when the project author is no longer releasing updates and/or is not responding to support requests within 14 days or has expressly stated that they are no longer actively maintaining the project.
+
+The CiviCRM community has two options for managing an abandoned extension.
+
+### Transfer Ownership to a New Maintainer
+
+When an extension author has stopped being responsive:
+
+* and there are important bugs in the extension
+* and someone else has offered to take over maintenance.
+
+#### Procedure
+
+1. Open an issue on the issue tracker of the project. [See example request](https://github.com/futurefirst/Email-Amender/pull/1#issuecomment-530755565)
+2. Wait 14 days for a response.
+3. If no response, or if a response clearly indicates the author has no intention to maintain the project going forward:
+   1. Change the node author for the extension from civicrm.org
+   2. Change the Git URL for the extension
+   3. Add the new author as a co-maintainer on civicrm.org
+   4. If the extension is on Gitlab, add the new maintainer on the project.
+
+### Request Removal of the Extension
+
+* When an extension is superseded by another extension, or
+* When an extension has critical bugs and is not being updated by the maintainer.
+
+#### Procedure
+
+1. Open an issue on the issue tracker of the project. [See example request](https://github.com/ChrisChinchilla/CiviCRM-eWay-recurring-payment-processor/issues/59)
+2. Wait 14 days for a response.
+3. If no response (or if the author confirms it is abandoned), create a ticket in the [Extensions Review Request issues queue](https://lab.civicrm.org/extensions/extension-review-requests/issues) asking for the extension to be either a) de-listed for in-app installation, or b) unpublished from civicrm.org
