When I read through the Google Groups post by Christian Bradandt about the future of the vim project[1] the picture it painted is that Bram had no idea his days on this mortal coil were almost. It seems there wasn't a succession or continuity of operations plan in place, leaving the project leaders with the unsavory task of having to ask the grieving family members to turn over access keys, domains, etc.How common is it for an open source project to have a defined continuity plan and should the presence of one -- and that it's updated -- be considered a sine non qua before financial donations are made to the project?
