It's been a week since I tried to get in contact with some of these maintainers and some packages have been deleted since, so here is the final aurdupes -A list.
*Packages created to update others:* stardict-ncce-ce-new (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=40850) I think was created to fix the source links of stardict-ncce-ce ( https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=19437) after the project was removed from sourceforge. It currently has no maintainer or votes and stardict-ncce-ce is also orphaned.
Done.
stardict-ncce-ec-new (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=40851) did the same thing for stardict-ncce-ec ( https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=19438). It also is orphaned and has no votes and stardict-ncce-ec is also orphaned.
Done
*Packages created for other reasons:* idjc-latest (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=35076) is poorly named and should be called idjc-git spideroak-latest (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=47096) is poorly named and should be called spideroak-beta. It is actively maintained. xf86-video-intel-newest (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=22968) is poorly named and should probably be called xf86-video-intel-alpha. I'm not sure what is the norm around alpha packages so please let me know what happens with this one. yaffs2utils-latest (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=46674) is poorly named and should be called yaffs2utils-snapshot but it's maintained by someone with an @archlinux email address so I think I'm mistaken on this one. Let me know what you think. josm-latest (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=13569) is poorly named and should be called something like josm-devel metslib-newest (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=43739). I'm not sure why this was created because the maintainer of metslib-newest and metslib is the same. Metslib-newest is more up to date than metslib though.
I've left these ones alone. I agree that the naming could be better, but they seem to work. However josm-latest should really be improved to incorporate md5sums, maybe using snapshot.
Also josm-svn and josm-latest-svn should be consolidated. I'll take a look at these later, and I'll probably update them.
