aur-dev Arch User Repository (AUR) Development aur-general Discussion about the Arch User Repository (AUR) aur-requests Public mailing list for AUR package deletion/merge/orphan requests
There still is the question if any of this lists can be used to ask "usage" questions regarding software provided by the AUR or if e.g. the comments should or shouldn't be used for this purpose.
Those kinds of questions are often at least acceptable on aur-general, though arch-general might be more appropriate. But they really belong in community places for said software.
Well, for anything that is somewhat controversial I think aur-general is fine, since aur-requests probably doesn't have many subscribers (especially not many non-TUs). However, I don't think these package removals were controversial. I contacted the owner of these packages and included a link to this discussion and asked what's the problem he tries to solve, since at least one of the packages was recent (from this year). The deletion showed that this is not the right solution, but he probably still wants to solve his problem ;-) -- JonnyJD PS: All packages were removed from AUR 3 and AUR 4 by now.
