Release drupal/audit namespace - active project blocked by abandoned audit_custom submodule
>>> [!note] Migrated issue

<p>## Summary</p>
<p>The `drupal/audit` Composer namespace is incorrectly occupied by a submodule from the<br>
abandoned project `audit_custom`. This blocks the legitimate project at<br>
<a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/audit">https://www.drupal.org/project/audit</a> from using its expected namespace.</p>
<p>## Current situation</p>
<p>When running: composer show drupal/audit --all<br>
name : drupal/audit<br>
descrip. : 审批模型<br>
keywords :<br>
versions : 1.x-dev, dev-1.x<br>

<p>The namespace points to a submodule inside `audit_custom`, not to the actual<br>
`drupal.org/project/audit` project.</p>
<p>## Why this namespace should be released</p>
<p>### 1. I am the active maintainer of drupal.org/project/audit</p>
<p>I recently took over maintainership of the `audit` project and I'm actively developing it.<br>
I'm pivoting the module from its original purpose (content auditing) to a comprehensive<br>
**Drupal site health auditing framework** that includes:</p>
<p>- Site configuration analysis<br>
- Code quality checks (PHPStan, PHPCS integration)<br>
- Performance audits<br>
- Security configuration reviews<br>
- Module update tracking<br>
- Multiple specialized submodules (audit_status, audit_cron, audit_modules, etc.)</p>
<p>A new release is coming soon with these improvements.</p>
<p>### 2. The blocking project (audit_custom) is abandoned</p>
<p>The `audit_custom` project (<a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/audit_custom">https://www.drupal.org/project/audit_custom</a>):</p>
<p>- Is marked as **"Seeking new maintainer"** (abandoned)<br>
- Has **0 reported site installations**<br>
- Is **not covered by Drupal's security advisory policy**<br>
- Was created in 2017 with no meaningful recent activity<br>
- Its own description says "please rename audit_custom to audit" - acknowledging<br>
the naming issue</p>
<p>### 3. Drupal standards support this request</p>
<p>Per Drupal's Composer package naming conventions:<br>
> "In the case naming conflicts cannot be resolved, Drupal Projects shall take<br>
> precedence over (sub-)modules"</p>
<p>The project `drupal.org/project/audit` should have priority over a submodule<br>
named `audit` inside another project.</p>
<p>## Requested action</p>
<p>Please reassign the `drupal/audit` namespace to point to <a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/audit">https://www.drupal.org/project/audit</a><br>
instead of the audit_custom submodule.</p>
<p>The audit_custom project maintainer should be notified to rename their submodule<br>
(e.g., to `audit_custom_core` or similar) to avoid this collision.</p>
