[aur-general] This Saturday I was deprived the maintainer status of AUR package SGE without reason
Dear AUR administrator, Can you please change me back to the maintainer of the AUR package SGE? This saturday I got two emails. One is user "freswa" disowned this package, and then 19 minutes later, another email said this package was adopted. When I got the two emails, it was already too late to adopt the package back. I did submit a request at the AUR web interface later, but the request was denied without any explanation. I am an SGE administrator for University of Michigan, and I have been maintaining the legacy SGE C code for many years to make it work with the latest library changes and the newer version of GCC. I published my code modification to AUR to help other Arch Linux user, and also help myself to maintain our own SGE cluster, which runs on both CentOS and Arch Linux. I really don't know why I was deprived of the maintainer status because I am a very responsive AUR maintainer. For example, I received some good suggestions about my other packages, I did accept those suggestions and modified my packages accordingly. The serious issue is I didn't receive any notification about the package sge before the two email notifications. It is quite scary for me, and should be scary for all AUR package maintainers. Is there anything I can do to get the maintainer status back? Best, Manhong

There were 3 Orphan requests filed: 2020-09-19 2020-10-06 2020-10-10 The first two were rejected by mistake. Though, you didn't react to neither the comment nor the requests. That's why I orphaned the package.

I guess there is an issue with your mails, because you neither received my replies to your requests nor the mails regarding added comments.
