Reclaim an already registered module?
Is it possible to reclaim an already registered third party module? For example if the module that is already registered doesn’t get any updates or is deprecated?

depends on the module
which is it that you are interested in?
https://deno.land/x/serial
Currently I am working on a better version that is better maintained and documented
And I hope that I can get the namespace
Else I would need to use a name like „serial_library“ or so
And it would be awesome to get just the serial namespace
We are currently working on this: https://github.com/TypeScriptPlayground/Serial

Do I need to contact the person that owns the namespace?

not much honestly
Okay
@crowlkats Is there a ruleset about „reclaiming“?
what exactly do you mean?
Like if the module is already registered but does not get used or so that someone else can reclaim the module.
well any rules are specified at https://deno.land/x#Q&A
For example after a specific time
Maybe? I mean in the readme of the repository it says „under development“. Since 8 months there was no more development.

@crowlkats I would say that the 2nd point of the rules applies.
