Okay, I see what's going on here. This guy has interpreted the "File Request" link (i.e. in the "Package Actions" section of each package 's AUR webpage ) as being a way of requesting a file (i.e. the package in this case). To prevent this kind of mixup in future, I would recommend that said link be renamed to "Lodge Request". I don't think anyone would be dumb enough to interpret this as a way of requesting lodging at the maintainer's residence.
Could it not be changed to open or create request? Both seem better than someone requesting to lodge at the maintainers house :-) On Thu, Nov 19, 2015 at 9:18 PM Xavion <xavion.0@gmail.com> wrote:

It could be changed to "Eat sh!t and die" for all I care: just get rid of that word "file" and I'll be happy. I can't fathom why anyone would use "file" to mean "lodge" when the central topic is computer files.
