Please have a look here:

It says: Please add a comment line to the top of your PKGBUILD file that follows this format. Remember to disguise your email to protect against spam: # Contributor: Your Name<address at domain dot com>
This is wrong and should read: # Maintainer: Your Name<address at domain dot com>
you are correct.
It's a half-truth isn't it? I mean if if is the first time a package is being submitted to the AUR it *should* be Contributor and not Maintainer. The Maintainer should only be appended to the list if replacing an existing PKGBUILD. At least that was my understanding of it.
for my understanding and i think we all agreed on the previous conversation(when i applied as TU), the maintainer is the actual person who's maintaining the package and contributor are past maintainers. That we do on packages from our repos.. -- Ionut
