291- At the moment,

293- PAUSE will let you give up the first-come
294- without transferring it to someone else.
295- This means the package ends up with
296- no-one holding a first-come indexing permission on the package.

298- If there are no other permissions on the package
299- (i.e. no admin or co-maint),

301- and they will be granted first-come.

303- If you drop first-come on a package,
304- and one or more other authors have an indexing permission on that package,
305- then the next person to release the package
306- ** will not** be granted first-come by PAUSE,
307- regardless of whether they currently have an indexing permission.

292+ will result in first-come being transferred to the special user ** ` ADOPTME ` **
