The submitter field proved to be useful in some cases where a package was moved from the official repos to the AUR and either turned out to be incomplete or wasn't properly removed from the official repos.
I guess I don't see what benefit the submitter field would have in such an instance. If someone moved it from the official repos to the aur, would they not be the submitter and also the maintainer?
What's the motivation of removing this one?
There was a discussion in another thread about adding submitter to the api return results, and I mentioned that I felt that submitter field wasn't very relevant or useful. This patch stemmed from that discussion.
