Karol Blazewicz asked an excellent question. What's next, do you want to adopt them?
I may adopt a few but not all. I am hoping that by orphaning them, an active maintainer may pick them up and fix/update them.
That list is huge. I can certainly pick up a couple, but some of them look horribly outdated; is it an option to delete the ones that haven't been updated in - say - 12 months just to bring it down to a manageable number? It would be a waste of resources to spend time on a package that nobody is using anymore.
I'm afraid it's not possible to remove old and unmaintained packages, unless e.g. the upstream is dead i.e. the source is missing: https://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-general/2013-June/023923.html
