+
+<p>
+  You can't delete crates from the registry, but you can leave it open for
+  transferring ownership to others.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+  To do this, you must publish a version with a message in the README
+  communicating to crates.io support team that you consent to transfer the
+  crate to the first person who asks for it:
+</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+  I consent to the transfer of this crate to the first person who asks
+  help@crates.io for it.
