Okay, so these should be removed:

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/linux-zfs/
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/zfs-linux-git
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/zfs-behlendorf-git/

Felix, could you do that please?

The dkms packages are definitely not maintained, but useful none the less
as eventually someone would probably like to build ZFSonLinux with DKMS. I
don't think they are named properly though. If they can be transferred to
my user "demizer" in AUR, I would be happy to eventually provide proper
packages as part of the ZFS support for Arch. If we agree to a maintainer
transfer, could the packages please be renamed to:

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/zfs-modules-dkms/ renamed to zfs-dkms

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/spl-modules-dkms/ renamed to spl-dkms

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/zfs-tools/ renamed to zfs-utils-dkms

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/spl-tools/ renamed to spl-utils-dkms

"Renaming" is just creating a new package and "merging" the old one into new one to transfer votes and comments. But you can't just do that, since zfs-dkms already exists in the repo. ;-)

Having that in mind, zfs-modules-dkms is rendered useless and should be deleted, right? By the way, I just spotted yet another zfs dkms package, can you confirm this one should be deleted too? This looks like a fork of your package, "# Maintainer: Jesus Alvarez <jeezusjr at gmail dot com>" is in there...
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/zfs-dkms-therp/
+ all zfs and spl packages from here https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?K=therp&SeB=m

Regarding the existing zfs-dkms, you take over the package after you contact a maintainer and the maintainer doesn't respond in 2 weeks (or just agrees and disowns). I'd strongly encourage you to do so because it would be good to have zfs packages clean and usable in AUR. :) There are really too much results for `yaourt -Ss zfs`, most of which are unusable.
