[aur-requests] [PRQ#15782] Orphan Request for lxd
Elrondo46 [1] filed a orphan request for lxd [2]: I can manage this [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/Elrondo46/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/lxd/
I've already found another maintainer, and opening orphan requests while I'm still responding to comments in a reasonable timeframe, is clearly stated in the Arch Wiki as not a suitable usecase for orphan requests. On Thu, 22 Aug 2019 at 18:27, <notify@aur.archlinux.org> wrote:

Request #15782 has been rejected by eschwartz [1]: ABSOLUTELY NOT. You posted a comment on the package details saying you had an issue and submitted an orphan request 26 hours later saying "I can manage this". This is NOT acceptable behavior. Shall I list the reasons? - You did not give the maintainer more than a single day to solve the issue. - You did not describe in the orphan request why you thought you should be the one to maintain it, but used a useless comment. Why not just submit an orphan request reading "this is an orphan request???" - The maintainer has provided updates to the package only a single month ago. - The maintainer provided another update three hours after your initial comment, and 23 hours before your orphan request. - The maintainer has a pinned comment linking to the Github repository where they accept pull requests to the PKGBUILD, and clearly intends to accept help in updating the package in that manner; did you even try that, first? Do not try to get us to orphan a package and give it to you, the day *after* the maintainer fixed all your build issues and ensured the package was up to date. You may not be aware of this, but we do not just automatically click "accept", we actually research the package to find out who is right and who is wrong.
