3) I think commenting about update will involve more people and bring awareness that the AUR package is active and not orphaned.
This is true, but should not be implemented like that. That's good it has been reverted.
AUR could keep track of the updates, e.g. have a new field named "Updates" that would list all versions and their release dates. It could be expandable with a single click, so it doesn't clutter the interface.
This seems like a pointless feature to me. As a user I'm only interested in two things: 1) what version have I got installed now, and 2) what version is available on the AUR now. Perhaps I am in a minority here though. A function that sends a notification to subscribers when a new src.tar.gz is uploaded seems like the best way of fulfilling the original request. Though perhaps a new option to "subscribe to update notifications" would be preferable to sending them to people who just want to be informed when a package is removed/merged. Cheers, WorMzy
