What to do About These Projects?

I made three of these five projects (Mammals, Herps, and Fishes) before the alive/dead annotations were added as a feature to iNat. Now that annotations exist, these projects don't serve any real purpose. I don't plan on deleting them, but I also don't plan on adding my own observations to them, or managing them in any other way. If somebody else would like to own the three aforementioned projects and the umbrella, I'd be glad to hand them off. If anyone has any other suggestions on what to do with them, I'd be glad to listen

This is an Example of Collection Instructions

Hello, I am looking for specimens of Lorem ipsum. Below are my instructions for how to collect them. Please DM me when you collect a specimen, so I can give you an address to mail them to.

Collect adult specimens of Lorem ipsum. These will be distinct from the juveniles, due to their 6 wings instead of 2, and external genitalia twice the size of their body. Put the collected specimen in a plastic vial of 75%-90% EtOH alcohol. Mark the date of collection, your iNat user ID, and the ID of the observation for the specimen. If you did not make an observation for the specimen, instead mark the date of collection and the coordinates of collection.

Thank you

(Please don't actually try to mail me anything. This is an example.)
