When I saw this discussion about sage-mathematics I was just wondering what is customary when a TU wants to adopt packages that are not his and are maintained by someone in the AUR.
I had a couple of those (remmina-plugins and freerdp) and from one day to another my packages were 'gone' from AUR. Only after that some TU sent me a message that he had taken my packages. There was nothing in the AUR ML about moving it.
Is this how this is usually done? I know developers aren't great communicators, but it sure struck me as impolite, rude even.
If a package has at least 10 votes the package can be moved to community without discussion. TUs are encouraged to communicate with AUR users though, if they're adopting someone else's package.
