Incorporate Abandoned Extensions process
Created by: jusfreeman
Incorporate Abandoned Extensions process as discussed on https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-dev-docs/issues/730
This incorporates both these wiki pages: https://lab.civicrm.org/extensions/extensions-directory/wikis/extension-maintainer-transfer-process https://lab.civicrm.org/extensions/extensions-directory/wikis/extension-removal-process
The goal is to provide a canonical source for this information in CiviCRM Dev Docs.
