I already understood this. This doesn't change anything. Still no reason for an automation. In those very rare cases I guess the previous maintainer still knows which packages he had maintained, and wants to continue maintaining. So he already can easily search for and adopt those packages.
Btw., I read at least one comment in the AUR in which the old maintainer asked to be removed from the #Contributor flag in the PKGBUILD. So I think that not everybody would be happy with such a previous maintainer field in the AUR.
And what about asking to you? Or a field option on the sittings, like to receive a digest or to receive any mail separately, you could choose if you want your #Contributor flag to be removed or not
