If you want a better system, add deletion and orphan request buttons to

interface that send an email to this list automatically or, even better, create a TU dashboard for the AUR where TUs can view submitted requests, along with reasons, how long packages have been flagged out-of-date, whether the maintainer has been emailed, etc. Packages could be automatically added to the dashboard for consideration when certain conditions are met, e.g. no updates or downloads in over a year.
Very good suggestions.
I am going to go with Xyne, raising the level of awareness will aid in our ability to keep the AUR clean.
I would also ask, is there a way to generate a list of packages that have been flaged out of date for more than n days?
So this boils down to add features, not clean up days. Got it. This is why I posted asking for opinions rather then going straight to announcements :) I guess there wont be a bug day because of the reasons discussed. Cheers!
