Building on this idea, the package page could include a button named "notify
maintainer". This would link to a form that allows a user to send a message to
the maintainer, e.g. "please add x86_64" to the PKGBUILD. If the package isn't
updated in e.g. 2 weeks, the "notify maintainer" button would be replaced by a
"request adoption" button.
It would be nice to have something like this, like what we have on the
forums, rather than having a plaintext email address exposed on the
account.php page. If the user really wants to email the maintainer
directly they could just look at a PKGBUILD.
On an unrelated note, does anyone else have problems with the MIME types
on the AUR server? This is the header I get when downloading a tarball:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/x-tgz
Accept-Ranges: bytes
ETag: "2582334637"

The MIME type for gzipped tarballs on my system is
application/x-compressed-tar. It's kinda annoying because Firefox gets
confused and decides it can't open the tarball. I might try to fix it
myself at some later stage, but I'm really snowed under at the moment.
