Seems strange. Only real reason I can see for not wanting to appear as previous maintainer would be if the PKGBUILD has deviated too much from previous maintainer vision (and probably in a bad way). But it means the PKGBUILD has a new maintainer which is a different case.
Unfortunately I can't remember which package it was, but I remember that the previous maintainer hasn't given a reason for his request. A reason I could also think of are (new) privacy concerns for whatever reason. Heiko
