But today came the next surprise. An orphan request with the words "Orphaning to facilitate quicker merging to papermerge-core.". Which got granted and subsequently taken by the new "maintainer". Again without trying to contact me beforehand.
It appears that it was auto-accepted, which would mean that it had been marked out-of-date for more than 180 days. This is the threshold that the AUR maintainers have set to consider it abandoned. Leaving it out of date for that long, this shouldn't have been such a surprise.
Granted, I didn't know about the 180 days before. Was under the assumption that it is still bound to the account activity. If it ever was. Nevertheless I was more surprised about the action itself happening despite the statements in the wiki to seek contact first.
