Allow the table creator to set co-owners and/or transfer ownership

Score + 23
I often see a table on here where the owner ups and leaves but there's plenty of game masters to that table and it is still active. At the same time I feel owners have access to troubleshooting issues, but often times need help to do so or happen to be busy. Allowing a table creator to set co-owners and not just give game master privileges would help these tables a lot and can keep the worlds crafted at the table continual smooth running. I'm part of a table that has games ran at all hours and due to a chat corruption our games have stopped for 3 days, causing the players who play on those days to be concerned. Seems the owner is able to get to troubleshooting today but if he could have appointed others to act as owner alongside him these troubleshoots could have been done at a much earlier time. Now, this should be stated and I think this is rather obvious, but co-owners should be people who truly trust each other. But again, many communities with many heads use roll20 tables and often technical issues get in the way and only one person can fix it while possible hundreds sit by and wait for the fix to occur.
Particularly in the case of Westmarches, this could also allow Non-Owner-GMs to list their games on Roll20s LFG, and not have to use 3rd party sites such as Reddit and DnD Beyond to get players.

There's a way to transfer ownership through the help center, but it requires the manual approval of a Roll20 staff member. Account Support – Roll20 Help Center I agree that having a more automated process would be nice.
