As i already mentioned a longer time ago, i'd recommend a method and/or possibility to disown packages, if someone forgot about them.
Some packages keep outdated, the authors are just not around any longer, and did never orphan the package. So like "author request a package". The author gets informed about this, and if a longer time the request wasn't accepted or rejected, the package moves to orphan. I dont know if this is already included by the current disown / adobt package systems. I know this request has been around some time, but i never tried to disown any package having an owner again. That's maybe a point for some more brainstorming. I'll take some time to think about what i could think being implemented in aur2, i'm sure some people will have nice feature requests - though, i'm quite happy with the current aur. Was a real big improvement to the "i-post-in-the-forum" system, which was quite annoying.
