This still needs a flow designed for how to transfer ownership. Does this toggle a new modal? Should it have some explanation? We probably can't show a dropdown/autocomplete of all users on wp.org, so the input to pick a new owner would be better as a text input like what's used on plugins:
I've put this in the "creation" milestone, but IMO we can launch without it if necessary.
