You can just ping the pkg maintainer. Why make things complex.

In my opinion, Arch is the best distro can really do bleeding edge with stablility, thank devs for their excellent work. However due to some reasion (saying shortage of time, man power, instersts etc), some applications  can't be updated in time. We can certainly flag it out of date in the web page easily, but is there a way we can record when it was flaged at the first time and count how many people (useres) want to flag it (like enable people to vote, but of course only  send a remind email at the first/person )?
Just my idea, I am not a programmer so don't blame me not to do it real by myself.
