Hi,
I think it should be/would be nice if pacman could show who is the current maintainer of a particular package.
It would make it a lot easier to contact them in case something is broken, not updated, or so.
Currently one has to go to the lenghts of seeing cvsweb, downloading PKGBUILD, and searching for the maintainer in there, often (sometimes at least) ones who are no longer active.
Cheers
I feel like this is a bit of feature-creep if we were to do this, and a bit too tied to the way Arch Linux uses pacman. -Dan
