Applying for a not yet transferred package

[drlkf]

Hello,

I'm looking for a new space to host the ConfigFile library as the new maintainer, however I don't necessarily have much credentials in the Haskell community to back up my application. Is transferring a package to a new maintainer that would join the trust as a result an issue? If so, is it possible to transfer the package and make my first contributions as an external contributor in the meantime?

My second question is: is it possible to join this trust under a pseudonym? I like to keep my identity concealed to the public internet, although it's definitely possible to find out who I am with a bit of research, and I can share my real name privately to the trust members if necessary, but I would definitely prefer to keep it hidden from the public.

Let me know if those are unclear.
Thanks :)
