Indeed it may be the case.  Currently there are no procedures at Boost 
to handle such situation. Maybe there should? As a starting point we 
should probably define when a library doesn't have a maintainer and 
think about a procedure of notifying the original maintainer/author and 
eventually passing the rights to someone else or the CMT.

Anyway, this change is very simple, similar to the one recently made in 
Function 
(https://github.com/boostorg/function/commit/854f2e8d5db4f5bdd2a23ce71e621b5fbccbbcba). 
I also saw that the other PR (https://github.com/boostorg/typeof/pull/2) 
was merged. Would it be possible to make an exception also in this case?
