I think you should announce that on a news. A news will be translated for each communities whereas a post in the forum will probably get ignored and non english speaking people won't be advised a cleanup is pending.

Maybe a link should be added to the front page of AUR ?

Then they probably fall in this category of the suggest removal guidelines

This situation is behind my reasoning to create a list of potential removals first.  I think we need to be careful of removing too many packages, especially in our first cleanup attempt.  Just the really unneeded ones as a first step.  I had even considered that once the list was made, then I would archive all the relevant PKGBUILDs before deleting them. But it would be better to just not delete useful packages in the first place...
