Hi,
Some of these packages are out of date and some have better PKGBUILDs in the comments: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?K=phi&SeB=m
Last activity from the user was over two years ago: 2011-03-17 (the brother-hl2030 package)
The two packages that are out of date has not been updated for three years.
My plan is to orphan all his packages if nobody thinks that's a horribly bad idea.
I'm also interested in comments about what should be done for similar situations in the future. I assume most users would be happy just to see the pacakges being updated instead of hoarded and would think it was fine if TUs just orphan them after a similar investigation of the situation.

There are quite a few orphaned packages nobody is maintaining or updating even though they have updated PKGBUILDs posted in the comments. Users can always ask for a package to be orphaned.
