Main burg package (which is burg-bzr, https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33382) is not orphaned and not updated since July 16, although package is flagged as out-of-date and a better PKGBUILD is suggested in comments. And I think it's nonsense adopting burg-themes (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=38066) due to it's containing themes only not working without main burg package.
If an AUR package is broken, you should always adhere to following procedure: * Tell the maintainer to fix the package using AUR comments or just send him a mail. I prefer AUR comments since they can be reviewed and discussed by others easily. You might also nopaste a patch and/or fixed PKGBUILD. * Wait for the maintainer to fix the package. * If he doesn't reply/react for some time, send him a mail asking him to update the package or orphan it if he doesn't want to maintain it anymore. * If he doesn't reply to that mail for another week, send a mail to aur-general asking the TUs to disown the package. * Never create duplicate packages with "-fixed", "-working", "-better" suffixes. I think we should delete the "-fixed" packages and disown burg-bzr if the maintainer doesn't want to maintain it anymore, so someone can adopt and fix the packages with correct namings. I'll send x-demon a mail.
