Heads up to addon authors.
Now that the site freeze is over and the migration to Overwolf hardware is pretty much done you may see a message on your projects saying your project is abandoned and no longer maintained.
You’ll see this message if didn’t consent to transfer your user information from Twitch so they’ve been flagged as abandoned.
How to restore -
The transfer process should be pretty quick , assuming someone from the Curseforge team is awake. For example SimulationCraft had the abandoned message. The Overwolf twitter advised them of the form 2 hours ago. Their abadoned flag has since been removed.

@Addon users
Bear this in mind when browsing addons. If an addon author hasn’t opted in their addon may be marked as abandoned.
If you do see that message the addon may not necessarily be abandoned. You could try to contact the addon author and direct them to the form above to unflag their addon. Feel free to refer them to this thread if you like.
An update to this -
From the Curseforge discord -
" Accounts that have gone missing over the transfer never opted into the transfer as required. https://account-transfer.curseforge.com/ You can transfer it here!
Will be active on the website after you logout and back in again."
Do you know if abandoned projects can be picked up by new authors?
No, it depends on the license and that only allows for making new projects with the same code

Some authors may not want to host on CurseForge now it has changed ownership but their addons may still be updated on other sites like WoWInterface.com.
