[R-pkg-devel] Change in maintainer email address

2016-11-16 Thread Zhian Kamvar
Hello,

Does anyone have experience in the process needed to change the maintainer's 
email address on a package? Should the the maintainer preemptively send an 
email to CRAN notifying the upcoming change, or should the package be submitted 
first?

Thanks,
Zhian

They should both happen around the same time.  It doesn't matter what order.

If one happens too much before the other, things are likely to go wrong 
and cause both you and CRAN extra work.

 * Explain any change in the maintainer’s email address and if possible
   send confirmation from the previous address (by a separate email to
   c...@r-project.org) or explain why it is not possible.
