i fully agree and that is exactly the reason why automatic pkgbuild update
was never suggested.

Sometimes there may be a new version out, but the maintainer needs to test
and make sure it's working as expected. It may need a patch to work
correctly, or it may have a major flaw and every other distro is also
avoiding updating to the latest version. The flagging system, I feel at
least, is more
automatic notification sending is i believe a way to hell (10th+
notification for the same package would only make maintainer more angry).
the idea is to only show it (when asked to) to user. then it's up to
him/her to either notify maintainer, make a patch and do the update
him/herself or even
i think it is the job of a maintainer to keep the pkgbuild updated (while
buildable at the same time). with keeping an eye on new upstream
releases.. not sure. why the "notify" button on aur webpage exists in the
first place. and then you also have pkgbuilds that lost their maintainers,

Arch Linux CN community have a tool nvchecker (
https://github.com/lilydjwg/nvchecker)
for periodically checking new versions of software and sending
notifications.
We have a nightly building bot and a unofficial repo (
https://github.com/archlinuxcn/repo)
driving by nvchecker.

hello,
this might not be a perfect place to propose new things to pkgbuild but
otoh it does affect pkgbuild and does make sense for aur packages. my point
is: at the moment the only way that the aur maintainers learn about
upstream version bump is either by a user notification system (flags on
