This is absolutely no-go because this way bugtracker will be flooded
with out-of date messages
that have no useful information.

+1 for complete merging community into main website (with limited
permissions for TUs)
and removing community-related part of AUR
(with a notice that if there was some important info in comments - it should be
reported as bugs or it will be lost)
(if there would be possibility to limit permissions per category then
I would love
to merge Community Packages bugtracker project as well,
but that's not an option at this time).
