Leave a repository on bitbucket

Question

Last year, I was working with some other people on a computer science project. So, I created a bitbucket repository and invited everybody. As we know each other very well, everybody is an administrator of the repository and I'm the owner.

Today, I would like to clean up my bitbucket repository list. But, I can't find how to leave a repository. When I go in the settings menu, the only thing that I can do is "deleting a repository". It's not what I want to do because I want to leave the repository for the other people.

For some repository (when I'm not the owner), I can revoke myself, but for the other, I can't. Do you know how can I do that? I would like to find a solution without needing to make a ownership transfer as it involves making a transfer request and then, waiting some time to get the answer.

Thank you

Somebody must own the repository, and you can't leave a repository that you own.

You could create a team and transfer the repository there, then invite the other users to the team. Transferring your repo to a team you create should be instantaneous.

Or you can transfer the repository to an existing user and wait for them to respond, as you have suggested.
