Hi Alex,

You are right. The policy probably doesn't cover all possible scenarios since each adoption
situation will be slightly unique. Just as laws of the land often don't cover all scenarios and
must be interpreted and applied to each situation individually, so it is with this policy.

In the particular scenario you describe, I imagine mozdev would introduce the project owner
to the potential adopter via email or IRC and ask the two parties to communicate directly.
