| At the same time, we are also trying to allow users to request the reuse of an abandoned namespace by contacting the gem owner directly. We routinely receive [support tickets](https://help.rubygems.org/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=abandoned&t=d&scope=all&category_id=&recommend=1) requesting access to an abandoned namespace that hasn't seen a release in quite a while. Finding the contact details of the owners can be a time-consuming process with limited scope for success. Recently we also decided that we will not show [user email publically by default](https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems.org/pull/2663), which users may have used in the past to contact owners. Using "Ownership requests", users will be able to submit such requests to gem owners using rubygems.org. | ||

| ## Ownership calls |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Terminology behind this section seems confusing to me (as a non native 🇬🇧 speaker). TBH I had no idea what this section is about. I'm probably late to party here, but is there any reason to not use more common terminology like "Looking for maintainer"?

Note that "ownership_call" is the name of th 8000 e model. We are trying to communicate that the user is asking (calling) for new ownerships. I agree that we are trying to invent a term here and this section attempts to explain what "ownership calls" mean.
any reason to not use more common terminology like "Looking for maintainer"
AFAIU, model names are almost always nouns. I am not sure pluralization would work for "looking_for_maintainer" in the context of the rails association. Further, we are looking for two model names, one created by owners and the other by users. Preferably they should use similar terms. Can you please suggest what could the name for objects created by users in response to "looking for maintainer"?
Are you suggesting we use "looking for maintainer" only for the blog?
TBH I had no idea what this section is about
Could you please elaborate with examples? I am hoping they are grammatically correct and coherent sentences. It is not very helpful to just say "I have no idea". What changes would you make?

Hello, sorry for the delay. We can call that section "Looking for the maintainer" or something and keep the models the same. I think there is no need to keep the model and section names the same.
I think similar problem was raised at rubygems/rubygems.org#2892.

I was referring to the fact when I open the page, I have no idea what's the purpose thanks to used naming. That's my comment as non English native speaker. Maybe I have just some language gap, that's also possible.

FYI, I have updated the view to address some of your concerns here rubygems/rubygems.org#2910. I am sticking with ownership call/request naming for view with added explanation in subtitle and text area placeholder. I have added "looking for maintainer" as a tooltip. I would appreciate it if you could share your concerns or suggestions before it gets merged.

reminder to review the proposed PR so that we can avoid arguments after release.

Hi, I am moving ahead with this without confirmation from @simi on whether changes made to the adoption page addressed his concern. I have waited almost a month. |

Sorry :( I had no time to write down my notes. |

Please create a new issue with any further suggestions you may have. |
