Building on this idea, the package page could include a button named "notify maintainer". This would link to a form that allows a user to send a message to the maintainer, e.g. "please add x86_64" to the PKGBUILD. If the package isn't updated in e.g. 2 weeks, the "notify maintainer" button would be replaced by a "request adoption" button.
It would be nice to have something like this, like what we have on the forums, rather than having a plaintext email address exposed on the account.php page. If the user really wants to email the maintainer directly they could just look at a PKGBUILD. On an unrelated note, does anyone else have problems with the MIME types on the AUR server? This is the header I get when downloading a tarball: HTTP/1.1 200 OK Content-Type: application/x-tgz Accept-Ranges: bytes ETag: "2582334637" Last-Modified: Sat, 31 Oct 2009 01:58:19 GMT Content-Length: 425 Date: Fri, 10 Sep 2010 10:52:28 GMT Server: lighttpd/1.4.28 The MIME type for gzipped tarballs on my system is application/x-compressed-tar. It's kinda annoying because Firefox gets confused and decides it can't open the tarball. I might try to fix it myself at some later stage, but I'm really snowed under at the moment. Jonathan
