Sorry, I meant feature request. Of course, opening tickets just to say that a
package X is out-of-date is silly.

But if the project is complex (like texlive-*) then bumping it may not be a
simple issue. So if I happen to go through this exercise before the maintainer,
how am supposed to communicate the working PKGBUILD, in an open fashion? A ML
would be best of course, but arch-general isn't a place for this...
