* Moving comment notifications sounds like a good idea. * Not sure about the automatic comment on package deletion. Sending notifications on various events is a controversial issue, although I personally think that it might make sense here. I usually always add a comment before deleting a package to make sure users on the notification list are aware of the package being removed. * This should be discussed on aur-dev, not on aur-general.
