I suspended jfdlksafdskjl account.
Probably he will continue with this flame, what we can do here?
Maybe ignoring him is the right approach here because that is probably what he least wants/expects here?

It's cheerless, such people may exist :( In the worst case he will do it for all packages. Am I too pessimistic ? :)

Do we really need a mechanism to let one person be able to mark the package as outdated? What about marking the package outdated only if a certain number of other users report it as such also? And even then, only if the user accounts marking them as such have not been generated recently?

He did this with the package nvidia-fbcondecor and with my package kernel26-fbcondecor, too, as diblidabliduu as well as jfdlksafdskjl. I don't know, if both accounts belong to the same person. I always unflagged it as out-of-date and explained in the comments why I don't update the package and why it doesn't make sense what he wanted me to do. After a while he seemed to give up and someday his comments have been deleted.

Yep.

number of other users report it as such also?
Nope.
And even then, only if the user accounts marking them as such have not been generated recently?
Nope.
But maybe some sort of user/IP-blacklisting function.
And remember to bottom-post!

Who would be able to blacklist? The package maintainer and/or general AUR admins?

Only TUs and devs in that case.

I saw yesterday in case of core/extra/community packages that when I'd like to flag a package as out-of-date, I need for a confirmation, to fill a form. Maybe it would be a good idea for AUR/unsupported packages too (with captcha if possible).
Maybe this thread can help: http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-general/2009-October/006764.html

IP Blacklisting? Pass that can of worms and I'll grab the opener.

IP can be changed easily, I think the best way that Aaron implemented in that thread.
