It doesn't hurt anything and it's included in 
'/usr/share/pacman/PKGBUILD.proto' so I believe it's preferable to leave 
it as is. Unless, of course, there is a reason for removing it (e.g. 
being obsolete).

What should I add myself as, when adopting a package, if not using the 
Maintainer tag? "Contributor" maybe?

Fixed. :)

I certainly could help maintaining packages in [community] and thus 
lowering the number of packages each TU has to look after. I intend to 
bring a couple of my packages into [community] that I think are useful 
and used by enough people. Namely, xdotool, gcompris and movic (the 
latter when 2.0 gets released - which should be soon, according to its 
website). Actively participating in discussions regarding the AUR and 
possibly helping in its development, are two more areas I've considered 
engaging in. Helping other people write better PKGBUILDs is highly on my 
priority list as well.

Good point! Your guess is correct, I go by the alias "foutrelis" everywhere.

Thanks. :)
