May i suggest something slightly relevant, but probably very radical? Disable comments on AUR completely.
I agree that comments are not terribly useful on community packages, but I think they're important for [unsupported]. Maybe for community packages, only allow comments from the *maintainer* (or TU). My preference is to leave it as is. Granted, sometimes people report issues for community packages on the comment page, but that's no worse than people emailing the maintainer directly (since that's still not on the bug tracker), and is better because it's more visible.
I disagree on the "not being worst" part. If Sergej who currently maintains more than 40% of the repo on his own read the comments on his packages, i imagine he would spend his life reading comments. See for example the link with brain0's comment. "Reported" as a comment on June 1st, fixed: never reported in the bug tracker on the 16th. fixed on the 19th. And from personal experience i can tell you that he fixes ASAP all the bugs reported to him directly by email. Anyway my suggestion was about unsupported. I thought (but maybe i was mistaking) that you guys (TUs) had already decided to disable comments on community already the last time this was brought up. -- Greg
