Help needed to take over maintenance of http://wordpress.org/plugins/wplicense

Hi,

We would like to update, extend and maintain the WPLicense WordPress
plugin (http://wordpress.org/plugins/wplicense) originally written by
Nathan Yergler (http://wiki.creativecommons.org/WpLicense).

However Nathan is not working at CC any more and somehow nobody can
retrieve his credentials for his original email address :/

So basically nobody can access this plugin's repository on wordpress.org
anymore. Who can help us out gaining access to it?

See also:

Rest of the threads on this:
http://lists.ibiblio.org/pipermail/cc-devel/2013-July/001852.html
http://lists.ibiblio.org/pipermail/cc-devel/2013-August/001878.html

ps: I'm acting on behalf of Tarmo Toikkanen & Dan Mills of Creative
Commons. Since I'm part of this mailinglist and both the WordPress
community as well as the Creative Commons community it seemed easier for
me to fix this than for Tarmo or Dan :)

Thanks in advance!

Hey Bjorn,

You should e-mail plugins @ wordpress.org. They can help you out.

FWIW, the code is ACTUALLY owned by this account:
http://wordpress.org/support/profile/creativecommons

So if you have that account's access, you can get in. And if it's a
non-existant account, you can redirect it to a real one, as (yes) it is

Will do. I looked around, but couldn't remember which address to use.
Maybe someone should add this email address to the repo page's footer?
Thanks!
