That wasn't what happened. Read the thread(s) again - a single TU went around and deleted a bunch of freshly orphaned packages, nothing to do with the migration.
I really don't see the issue here, even if is this that happened. They were orphaned, weren't they? And, they aren't deleted, they are "hidden". Unless the TU also removed the git repository, which I believe didn't happened. Truth is, the disown functionality has been misused and you can't really complain if you orphaned a package and it was deleted. Even more now that AUR has a co-maintainer functionality.

Just because they were orphaned doesn't mean they weren't useful. You don't see anything wrong with deleting a package a couple of hours after a maintainer orphans it? They were deleted in the sense that they are no longer generally available, and all comments, notifications, and votes are gone for good. Doug
