Trusted Users now have the ability to overwrite packages without changing ownership. This allows for adding small fixes to PKGBUILDs without disowning the package.
This sounds like it is bound to cause regressions.
I keep my aur packages in a git repo and if updates come I do my work there. Ninja edits will only really be useful if the maintainer isn't responsive so chances are they won't even notice the edit. Next time they bump the package they probably won't add the ninja edit so it will be lost.
Agreed, I will discard this patch. The feature can still be added after switching to Git repositories. Users will then notice ninja edits because Git refuses to do non-fast-forwards by default (and non-fast-forwards will be disabled on the server anyway).
