Take a chill pill. No one implied that this is for TUs or devs. Users subscribed to aur-general may take interest in them too. If I orphan a package I'll usually leave a comment, so that people that get notifications will know that they can adopt. I'm not really sure where you're gathering your rules from. If excess traffic on the list does become a problem, we'll find ways to solve it.
