[aur-general] [orphan request] charles 3.6.3-1
Hello! The package charles-3.6.3-1 has been flagged out of date since nov 30th. I would like to adopt it, is it possible to get it disowned? - Ernie Brodeur

Please send an email to the maintainer first, asking them to update it, or if you can take over. If you don't receive a reply within a reasonable amount of time (e.g. two weeks), please come back to us with a request. Thanks, Pete.
So, the 45 days that lapsed since it's been flagged out of date isn't
enough?
Seems to me after 6 weeks, why bother?
If not 6 weeks, what reasonable amount of time makes this step unnecessary?
I want to fix the package, not deal with waiting on somebody else who may
or may not get to it for another two weeks.
Just a thought.

Because it's the standard procedure and, beside this, it's unfair to disown a package without trying to contact its maintainer first.

Maybe the maintainer itself may disown the package as soon you'll get in touch with him, so there's no need for a TU to disown it. Maybe the the maintainer will provide the update. Or maybe there will be silence for two weeks and a TU will disown the package. In any case, IMHO this is a fair procedure to get a package disowned and is good to stick with it.

...because you can't tell if the maintainer has notification activated. since, as a maintainer, you're not required to have. cheers! mar77i
