Apologies, I didn't realize I should be doing that first.

Contacting the maintainer before filing a request is a good practice, whether you ask his package to be orphaned, deleted or merged into another. ;)

Maybe we should patch https://git.archlinux.org/aurweb.git/tree/web/template/pkgreq_form.php?h=v4.4.1 to add that for merge and deletion (it’s already there for orphan).

That is indeed what I mentioned in the original request, but I figured it

made more sense to have the outdated package get merged in the

updated one and rename the new one instead.

Since renaming = pushing a package with the new name + filing a request to merge the old one in the new one, this doesn’t make any sense.

Agreed.

I'll take a better look at your nightly PKGBUILD and see if I can

co-maintain firefox-developer. Thanks.

That’s OK. I’ll monitor the situation with firefox-aurora/firefox-dev/firefox-developer from now on, and will wait for things to be settled before accepting the current remaining requests.
