Now that the request is clear, I will say that I don't think this should be done on the AUR itself. As already mentioned, there are not many users who drop everything in the AUR and then come back (even if "they always come back").
I don't think you should only focus on that particular use case. There may be other problems that could be solved by a more generic approach. What I'm thinking about is having a "last maintainer" field that would be displayed and searchable for orphans packages. It would not only allow to easily find all packages that were belonging to a specific user but would also give an easy way to reach the last maintainer of an orphan package to get extra informations before adopting it. This is just a random thought and may be pointless... What is your opinion on this? -- Cédric Girard
