This seems like a hack, why not just use a real issue tracker? For example, I use GitHub Issues to track issues related to my AUR packages, and then the AUR comments become something more like a News page for that package. I thought there was a plan for AUR to move to something more VCS-oriented for tracking changes in PKGBUILDs (i.e. AUR git hosting), and that might come with issue-tracker-like capabilities, but I'm not sure what the state of that is currently or who is working on it. Maybe TUs/devs can chime in as that may solve this use case for comments on its own? (NB: If the intention would be to make maintainers able to remove comments, then there are many packages without maintainers where people "adopt, update, orphan" when there's an update - it'd be important to protect those packages against automated mass-comment-removals by malicious third party.)

What is your take on this idea?
