I believe cryptocrack has said that the entire notification system needs an overhaul, and things like this won't get implemented until that happens.
I added one line in package update Guidelines for Maintainer.
Here is the link: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Maintaining_packag...
Here is the line added:
"After submitting the update, leave a comment on AUR page of the package so users following the package get notified."
Hopefully that can be a temporary workaround.

Please remove that. Commenting every single update will clutter up the comments page and make it harder to follow discussions. If you want to track AUR updates in the absence of a built-in notification system, write a script or use one of the existing AUR trackers or helpers. I generally only care about updates to packages that I use, so paconky[1] is good enough for me. To give another example, I have attached a very simple script that accepts a list of package names and prints out their last modification times in a sorted list. It depends on python3-aur.
