Can I request that some sort of system be put in place for informing maintainers that their package is being deleted ? I was afk for a week or so and I come back to a deleted package. While that was the eventual idea, I had a close to a thousand votes for flashplugin-prerelease, and now that package is gone with no way of informing the users that the package is deleted. Most aur helpers I've seen do not inform users about deleted packages. -Anish
