Hi,

I am the packager of aspcud and aspcud-svn, an important dependency solver for the OPAM OCaml package manager.

Two dependencies, clasp and gringo, have been already packaged in AUR,

Disowned. Adopt and keep improving it!

This is what package-hijacking looks like.

Is it? The previous maintainer has never voted, and their last action on the AUR, as far as I can tell, was June of last year. The only remaining package they have is out of date as of a month ago, in addition to clasp and gringo. I don't think there's any unwarranted "hijacking" happening here.

Unless I'm completely insane, you're talking about the submitter, not the previous maintainer (me, though again I could be delusional)--as far as I can tell, there is no (public) mechanism that reveals intermediate {orphan,adopt} history.
