It'd be nice if the original maintainer would let the active fork take over the main name, repo, website, etc. when that happened.

There are a lot of instances where that may not be practical. The maintainer may be indisposed or may be even passed away. Perhaps we shouldn't attach too much significance to the name. Instead, make projects more discoverable and get creative with the names.
