Well it's an open-source project right? Anyone can pick up where they left off.

Side note: Has an abandoned project of this size ever been forked and continued by another team?

OpenOffice maybe.

I thought LibreOffice has (approximately) continuity of maintainership with the OOo team, which itself had continuity of maintainership with the StarOffice team. Apache OpenOffice is moribund and has never really regained active development, despite being the official successor according to Oracle corporate.

Gogs -> Gitea?

Gogs was a relatively small codebase, and it had a single maintainer before, not a team.
