If I were a collaborator on a thread and the OP is no longer available for threadmarking/etc, what needs to happen for me to get OP privileges? I can't really find a rule for it and I'd prefer not to DM a mod if there's a process in place I just didn't see.
 
I don't think that's a thing that can happen, I think you start a new thread, and post a "Continued Here" link in the old one.

There usually is. I didn't want to say it in a public space, but my co-writer/collaborator is in hospice and there doesn't seem to be a way to contact the mods directly and I'd rather not ask in the threads. If it can be done on SB (which I had done this morning), it should be doable here.

I think that's an add-on that we might not have here, and also I think it requires the original thread OP to do it.
 
I think I vaguely remember a case of the thread OP being changed by the mods shifting someone else's post to the first place, thus making them the OP?
 
Iirc thats generally a PM to the admins from the OP with the co-author included in that pm and an agreement by both members to the change.

You may be able to get away with just a PM to the Admins if OP has you credited as co-author.
