If there is somewhere to turn for help when I run into build issues I can't solve, then I wouldn't mind picking up a couple of packages so they can be kept current. What nobody needs when trying to help is to be lambasted for not being able to solve those types of problems -- I sure don't need it.

If you are interested in an orphaned package, just adopt it. If you encounter some insurmountable obstacle, and you cannot get help, then disown it. AUR package maintainership is a very weak commitment, as commitments go. In other words, you aren't married to your AUR packages. -- Chris
