I'm not subscribed to new package notifications but it seems like AUR this feature has been disabled for a while now. At least, I did neither find a cronjob running "newpackage-notify" nor the "tupkgs.conf" configuration file that is required to run this script. Browsing the aur-dev archives, I also found a mail [1] from 2008 reporting that the cronjob was obviously disabled.
Do we still need this at all?
Given that there were no complaints for more than two years and that there's a RSS feed [2] for new packages, I'd say we can drop the notification script as well as the field on the account page.
Objections?

Yeah I would kill, or alter anything that requires tupkgs. That was based on the old scripts that TUs used before switching to devtools.
