Just orphan them and somebody will adopt them, simply you DON'T have to tell us that you are orphanizing or adopting unsupported packages.
This message is for everybody (not just Tomás), please don't send e-mails to the list when you adopt or orphanize a PKGBUILD, just orphan it and someone will adopt it.. that's it!. Why devs and tus can do it or have to do it?, simply, they maintain official packages.
I've been this bad habit/behaviour from somedays ago, and I've tried to don't said something harsh, but this time i think it's enough, I appreciate those all contributions, but there are some _rules_ and there are thousands of packages in AUR, just imagine if every people who orphan or adopt a package will send an e-mail to the list, it will flood the list!.
Take a chill pill. No one implied that this is for TUs or devs. Users subscribed to aur-general may take interest in them too. If I orphan a package I'll usually leave a comment, so that people that get notifications will know that they can adopt. I'm not really sure where you're gathering your rules from. If excess traffic on the list does become a problem, we'll find ways to solve it.
