That doesn't necessarily answer the question, because some licences
don't require proof of original authorship to be retained.  As well, if
re-licensing is to occur, someone needs to hold the copyright going
forward from as at the point of changing of the licence.

Would it be agreeable to you for new maintainers to put a blurb saying
"Original Author: Donald Cooley" or equivalent as a courtesy, and to
retain your name as copyright holder from [whatever year] to 2022?
