How does a developer adopt an orphan module?

Question

Is there any way for a developer to apply for adoption of an orphan module?

Some modules like the Views PHP module are still actively used by many sites, but there isn't any active maintainer on it.

I searched for Drupal orphan module adoption but saw no relevant result. Hence I'm asking for advice here.

There is a well-established process for this. As this process may change, it is best to refer to the official documentation to guide you. Please read Taking over unsupported (abandoned) projects
