I tried contacting fossdd today early in the morning about this, but got no response yet. I would appreciate an advice on this.

You might want to give them a little more time. Generally speaking, if the package is currently broken, there is no response, and there are no signs of activity on any of a maintainer's other packages, then you might file an orphan request. However, in this case fossdd has been active recently so making contact and having a little patience will be the correct approach! J

that makes sense to me, too. but, am i right that it would also be legitimate, and even typical, for the package author to add a "poe" package to AUR? i.e, my sense is that quite often both "foo" and "foo-git" packages co-exist in AUR.

yes.

(whether they are normally maintained by the same, or by different, people, i don't know.)

Of course, the first option is just more convenient, but the second is also absolutely normal, especially since you can always agree on the comaintaner role.

I thought I saw the package for a Go program "poe" appearing in some package search, but repeating the search now I can't find it. I found at least three packages with the same name, without an AUR package. Two are in Go:

It appears it wasn't a package search, but running the command: git clone ssh://aur@aur.archlinux.org/poe.git This fetches an existing repository with a PKGBUILD starting with: # Maintainer: Egor Kovetskiy pkgname=poe pkgver="autogenerated" pkgrel=1 pkgdesc="examine, list and fix suspicious constructs in Go source code" arch=('i686' 'x86_64') license=('GPL') makedepends=('git') depends=('go' 'gometalinter-git') I will try to contact Egor Kovetskiy to check if it would be ok to overwrite the repository, since poe isn't listed in AUR package search anyway.
