I think this is a poor argumentation. "some maintainers are already screwing things up, so there is no problem with encouraging them / making all this easier for them" The fact is, maintainers should always test their changes, even the most trivial ones. Besides, with the existing AUR helpers [http://www.archlinux.it/wiki/index.php?title=AUR_Helpers] , it should make all this very easy : - download / extract current package - edit pkgbuild - run makepkg and namcap - makepkg --source and upload you could even automate all these steps easily I think.
