Here are some of my favorites. And some stats about what is in the AUR.

You could also try the following:
* PKGBUILDs with executable bit set * Install scriptlets with executable bit set * One or more included files from source array if it's a URL
I am not a TU but I maintain all my PKGBUILDs http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?SeB=m&K=skodabenz in a git repo in an ntfs partition so that I can edit even in windows (of course makepkg --source needs arch). Any damn file created in the ntfs partition gets executable bit set. There is a ntfs-3g mount option to disable executable bit for all files but I am not using it as I use some bash scripts which I run from that partition itself instead of copying to home/desktop dir. Just my suggestion. - Keshav
Anyway, we could implement things like these in AUR itself, and the maintainer would be informed upon upload (first submission or subsequent updates) without having to resort to posting comments, and depending on the severity of non-compliance either allow or reject the upload.
Also, while you're on this, you can actually send the maintainer an e-mail, rather than posting a comment. That would be pretty slick, actually. But of course, first we need to decide what and what not to warn/inform about.
