Adopting a Plugin or Template

Try to contact the author to make sure the plugin/template is really an orphan
- if not, send patches to the author instead of creating a new, just slightly different version of the plugin (like we currently have with translation, translation2, translation3, …)
If the plugin is an orphan clone the repository at github if it's there already
If it isn't check in the last original version into some version control (git + github) recommended
Change the plugin page
- put your name as author
- put your email address
- change the download link to your version of the plugin
- put some info about the orginal author somewhere in the description of the plugin
