You can run `pacman -Si package` to get maintainer contact ou use the web interface on archlinux.org.
The question is not so stupid as it sounds in the first moment because "pacman -Si" shows only the packager but we all speaks even from the maintainer. And i must say that this point is for me not clear too and i will give you a example with firefox-i18n:
pacman -Si firefox-i18n: Packager : Jan de Groot <jgc@archlinux.org>
First lines in the PKGBUILD (i delete only the email addresses): # Maintainer: Thomas Baechler # Contributor: Jaroslaw Swierczynski # Contributor: Michal Hybner
And now? Result for me: Having the abs tree on my disk (or looking at repos.archlinux.org) is the best solution to find out who maintains a package.-)
The best way to know who _currently_ maintains a package is looking at archlinux.org/packages/ because new maintainer may not always change the # Maintainer tag right away.
Note: A "pacman -Si firefox" shows this "Packager : Unknown Packager".
