Just a friendly reminder for those of you that rebuilt your python packages recently for the 2/3 naming convention: if you changed the 'pkgbase' value in the PKGBUILD, your package is probably listed as an orphan in archweb. See the below link for a list of those that need adopting:

Hi Dan,
Do you think it would be a good (and feasible) ideaif the person who upload a package for the first timewas automatically flagged as maintainer on archweb?
It would be possible to use the packager for this purpose, but I'm not so sure it would be a great idea to do this automatically. It is a harder question than it seems to determine if a package is being uploaded for the first time (nearly everything is "new" in testing, as opposed to a verbump in extra). What could be done is a simple report showing orphan packages with their last packager, so at a glance you could see if you should be adopting anything. -Dan
