Then OSS it.

Then let some one else have it and ask for your name or what ever to
be removed from references or the like.

Why not, you don't want it, so why not let some one else take over?
This seems to directly contradict what you said in the last paragraph.

Well if you like the idea of using copy right laws to protect it and
what ever, but don't want it and are not interested in it what so
ever, I would be willing to take total control over it and OSS if you
don't want it.

Seems like such a waste of effort just to let it die only because you
don't want to deal with emails.
