Personally, i don't see the lead developer oriented view as a problem; it's not that hard to update couple of links (cabal homepage/repository link on hackage for example) to point to a new lead developer, an organisation, a project page, or another site altogether.

... except we can't edit .cabal files that are already there with links to the wrong master repository.

Isn't that exactly the same when you have a new maintainer. surely this involve uploading a new cabal file with the new maintainer stated in there. Also you can't edit already uploaded hackage cabal files, you still can (should ?) always make a point release to advertise to the world that you're the new maintainer and the fact the repo url has changed. But again, if there's strong feeling about the personal view vs the project view, again, there's the way to solve that problem on github too. -- Vincent
