I think you misunderstood me. It's not about taking packages back if they are maintained. It's about giving orphaned packages back to the previous maintainer if they are still orphaned and he has logged in again and pushed some new packages to AUR or started maintaining some other packages.
What do you think a maintainer has orphaned a package or a package was orphaned by a TU? Maybe the maintainer isn't interested in maintaining it anymore? So why would you give those packages automatically back to those previous maintainers who are not interested in them? They most likely would feel annoyed by that and will orphan them again. If you are interested in maintaining an orphaned package, feel free to adopt and maintain it yourself. Sorry, but really pointless idea. Heiko
