This is the primary question here. If it's the maintainer then... what is this email thread even for?
It's about sense of responsibility. As already pointed out, something like the webkit PKGBUILDs are objectively PKGBUILDs with a very serious high security risk. Users might not be aware of it, they might think it's software, that was dropped from official repositories for harmless maintenance issues. For example, a Heartbleed affected SSL is not the same as an discontinued Sudoko game without internet access, even if such a Sudoko game might come with minor security issues, too. Regards, Ralf
