Are you sure that that's what's happened? All foreign keys on the PackageBases table are "ON DELETE SET NULL". Additionally, we programmatically set these fields to NULL before deleting an account.
If you have evidence that packages were deleted as a direct consequence of an account deletion, that's most likely unintended. Please open a bug in the aurweb bug tracker with some more details.
Thanks! Lukas
I'm actually a bit unsure, I only have surrounding incidents where the same happened. One of the r- package maintainers deleted their account and subsequently removed a bunch of r packages in AUR. My reaction to this was mostly "oh, probably intended!". I wonder if this only happens when the maintainer creates "fresh packages" and deleted their account? -- Morten Linderud PGP: 9C02FF419FECBE16
