Hello, I am not a TU, but the discussion is open to normal users, isn't it? There are at least two threads in the package request forum about outdated packages. http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=38195, http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=43768 I do not know if the Users tried to contact filoktetes, though.

I tried to contact filoktetes for the last couple of weeks, first on 30th of January, after which I started a ping thread for him about a week after that, and contacted him by private mail three days ago. As he did never respond, I think it is time to take action. So what is the deal... - he missed the last 4 votes, which is by definition enough to start a removal discussion - currently 11 out of his 35 packages our out of date - he did never say he is inactive (AFAIK), though he seems not to reply He did update 2 packages on 31th of January, which is 1 day after my first mail. The last update before that dates from the 8th of December. I do not have anything against him personally, but I think this kind of behavior hurts the [community] repo, and the AUR in general. Please discuss!
