:P (Don't worry, I don't mind being singled out.)
I did indeed miss the discussion on aur-requests. I saw that the request had been made by Scimmia and the given reason was one that appeared legitimate, so I did not check the packages as I should have prior to the merge.
I agree with your points and I apologize for the mistake.
And the reason was legit, Muflone agrees; it was more my lack of checking to make sure the current package was in good shape. gtkparasite-git was a package I fixed up a while back, so I kind of keep an eye on it. I saw that it had been updated upstream for GTK3, but didn't actually build and try it. I'll take more care in the future.
While the new interface makes some things easier, the need to correlate requests on the interface with discussions on the mailing list adds more work for TUs compared to the previous system in which everything was on the mailing list. I have been negligent in this regard but I will be more diligent in from now on.
The idea of using a real bug-tracker was mentioned in another branch of this discussion. I like the idea of keeping actions and discussion in the same place. Depending on the feature set this could simplify management of the AUR. I just hope that such usability will not require prohibitive complexity in the backend.
