I wonder: ConsoleKit2 is an ongoing effort to continue CK1. But why was it forked? CK1 maintaner would be really happy to give commit rights to anybody.

Did he announce he's looking for a successor? If not, how do you know? Unfortunately many people go dark once they lose interest.

He did few times on consolekit mailing list. He even pointed at Solaris folks, who are the biggest users of CK and asked them to take over.
Developers of GNOME did that, too: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/distributor-list/2012-January/msg00002.html :

"This means concrete action is needed if this
functionality is wanted within your distribution or OS."

Lennart was quite clear that systemd superseded ConsoleKIt and CK is out for grabs.
