The maintainer is certainly aware, that much is plainly evident!
Flagging a package out-of-date does nothing other than make the
maintainer aware, it isn't some magic oldness-slaying bullet.

I think we can safely assume from the tone of the email you are replying
to (and, for that matter, the previous emails in this mailing list on
the subject) that that has already been done.

How do you recommend someone become a co-maintainer of a package in the
[extra] repo, keeping in mind that becoming a TU requires considerably
more than the current maintainer's willingness to share? And TUs can
only push packages to [community], not [core] and [extra] ...

Please, helpful suggestions only! And keep in mind this is not the
aur-general mailing list, so AUR-specific advice is not helpful (and I
suspect ardour users don't want to see it dropped to the AUR either).
