In the description <https://lists.archlinux.org/mailman3/lists/aur- requests.lists.archlinux.org/> of the aur-requests mailing list, it states:

    Public mailing list for AUR package deletion/merge/orphan requests

But in aur.archlinux.org <https://aur.archlinux.org>, it says that requests should be filed using the Package Actions box on the package details page and the mailing list shouldn't be used for that purpose:

    If you want to discuss a request, you can use the aur-requests
    <https://lists.archlinux.org/mailman3/lists/aur-
    requests.lists.archlinux.org/> mailing list. However, please do not
    use that list to file requests.


So which one is true?

Requests should be filed using the Package Actions box on the package details page on the AUR website. Each submitted request automatically creates a related thread on the aur-requests mailing list which can *then* be used to discuss said request (e.g. if the maintainer wants to respond, etc...).
