Description
In #1560 I've pitched a minor redesign that mimics Github's Danger Zone, making it more clear that here be dragons. Hopefully.
A feature I've always wanted to add would fit perfectly in there : Transfer This Plugin.
IF you are the plugin owner (and only the owner), you can click on a button that will prompt you to put in someone's user ID. That feature would then change the plugin owner to that account and REMOVE the requester's commit bit.
It may be useful to have an option "check here to KEEP your commit access" for people who are giving their plugin to (say) their company Toast SEO, but should retain commit access.

I decided against changing the commit rights of the requester, but also required that the new owner be a committer already (even if only added 2 seconds ago). The original owner can remove their commit bits immediately afterwards.
Hopefully this reduces the error-rate of transferring a plugin to the wrong person, and also ensures that the new owner has access to the tool themselves.
If a current plugin owner is NOT a committer, or the plugin is closed/not-yet-published, they can't access the transfer ownership functionality.
To be clear - Plugin ownership is determined by the
post_author
field right?
