Sometimes the maintainer in this case is a Dev or a TU, and eventually they are full of work and they doesn't reply the emails or let the packages out of date or with bugs (in the AUR history *this* fact is happening), what should do the user in this case?:
1.- send an email to the ml? --> will be ignored by everypeople. (and probably the maintainer, and plus force the user to subscribe to the ml, maybe the user isn't a packager, just an user reporting anything like "this package shouldn't depend on bla bla") 2.- "open a bug report", come on dude, not every people will register to the bt to fill a bug report, maybe if one account will work for everything, but this is not the case. 3.- Open a bbs thread (pfff hehee .. I just will laugh about it) 4.- IRC? (why if maintainer isn't active on that?)
And plus, sometimes Comments helps the maintainer of a package a LOT.
So, this discussion is irrelevant, please when you do an upgrade you don't remove features at least these are unuseful, and reading this thread, more people are agree to keep the comments.
Thanks
I already replied to these many times.
Do you know of another project that enables user comments? I know of none. Yet they seem to get by fine with mailing lists, IRC channels, and personal emails.
See for example a project somewhat close to the AUR: http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2690
Anyway: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/15265
