Title
Maintainers should be notified of community deletion

Short, concise description of the idea
Maintainers should be notified of community deletion.

Full description of the idea
I was/am a maintainer of the community mucholdermoms. All of a sudden, the community was deleted - with no notification sent to me. Granted, the owner decided to up & leave, but why wasn't I automatically notified that the community was going to be deleted? In fact, why isn't there an option given to the owner/creator to automatically pass on the maintainership to the already-named maintainer?
