Hi,
I created a package and uploaded it to the AUR, but it seems there was already one with the same name since it has votes and the name of another contributor appears... I guess it was orphaned and I automatically adopted it by uploading a new version ? Is there some history to check it referred at least to the same software ? It think it would be better if maintainers had to explicitly click "Adopt" before being allowed to upload new versions of packages.
There's a Git mirror of all AUR packages [1]. And having to explicitly adopt a package before submitting an update was how the AUR behaved before 1.8.1 was released [2] :)
