[aur-dev] [PATCH] mention aur-requests in home
According to [1] the ML aur-requests should be used for requests now and not aur-general. However, aur.archlinux.org still tells to use aur-general for requests. I am personally subscribed to aur-general, but I disable emails 1-2 weeks after my requests are accepted and enable only right before making a new request. According to [2] I am not the only package maintainer doing it like that. So my point is, that many people will only learn about this change when they are told after making a request on aur-general.

Mineo told me that doing requests from the web UI is already live Oo. More reason to not tell people to send requests to aur-general ;-) PS: I re-enabled receiving mails from aur-general. Now that most of the "noise" is gone. -- JonnyJD

IMO, ”can and should” sounds weird and unprofessional, “should” is enough. And ”now” is not a nice thing to see in the long term; and even if it were to stay there, it would have go after “should” to be grammatically correct. -- Chris “Kwpolska” Warrick <http://chriswarrick.com/> PGP: 5EAAEA16 stop html mail | always bottom-post | only UTF-8 makes sense

Generally, +1 from me. I wonder whether we should be even more specific, though. Something along the lines of Package orphan requests, merge requests, and deletion requests should be reported using the "File Request" link in the package actions box. What do you think?

Yes, "Reporting a request" sounds weird, but we should be more specific how this can be achieved in the web interface. I sent a new patch using the same vocabulary as the interface. -- JonnyJD
