I had some dependencies issues with some of my packages, in that they weren't resubmitted to the new AUR. I tried to contact all the former maintainers. In one case I ended up being a co-maintainer, on the others I adopted the packages. I agree with you Lukas. People are misusing the disown functionality, and expecting things to still work afterwards. I believe the problem is, and you can correct me if I am wrong, that on Aug 8th, the packages that were orphaned on the new AUR, were "hidden", as you put it. I said before, if there is someone willing to care enough for a package, they will (should) maintain it. I mentioned that arch shouldn't maintain these packages. But since you're doing it anyway, then perhaps there could be a place with all these orphaned "hidden" repos, so someone willing could search there and resubmit it to AUR if that is the case.
