I received commit permission on an abandoned project. (And then I abandoned the project, too--oops! At least I announced the abandonment on the project wiki, so people didn't have to dig into the source to see how fresh it was.) I think Brad's usual policy is to try to contact the original maintainer and then after a week or so to just grant commit permission to the new person if he doesn't hear an objection from the old maintainer. I haven't heard of any problems with malicious project hijacking, so I think the system works.
