Figure out Workshop distribution.

[DaloLorn]

Unfortunately, it is seeming increasingly likely that Soloriens will not be able/willing to continue releasing updates to the Community Patch on Steam. (Which is another reason I renamed it, the first one being to associate it with the rest of OpenSR.) In his absence, there is no alternative but to create a new Workshop item.

The question now is, what account should release it, and how might that account need to be prepared?

• I can, of course, sidestep the issue by taking his place, much like I did when Alarcarr left Rising Stars. I don't currently intend to become completely inaccessible, even if I end up going on hiatus again... so I should be able to push updates fairly easily for the foreseeable future. However, in the event that I do disappear completely for whatever reason, we'll be back at square one. (Well, I won't. Because I'll be gone.)
• We could set up a shared OpenSR account. This is something that has been done by other modding teams using the Workshop, so there is precedent. However, this invites further discussion of how to balance security and accessibility, and raises the issue of needing a new Steam copy of SR2 to be granted to the OpenSR account.
• We could do both, and make a more controlled transfer of authority from my account to the shared account at a later date - similar to how Alar and I originally transferred Rising Stars, only more smoothly executed. Considering I'm hoping to migrate away from the Community Patch in time for the next Rising Stars weekly game (not to be confused with the next session of the current game! 😛), this may be the most likely option.

... Interestingly, all the recent GitHub activity seems to have opened a new set of options:

• Essentially duplicate options 1 or 3, but with Soloriens instead of me.

Why is this still open? It was resolved...
