Hello.

Oops, yes is a comment but... two things:

1) Technical purposes: Having a "# Maintainer" comment line can provide
a simple way to shell scripts to identify the maintainer, that in many
cases the maintainer != packager. (pacman -Qi) This help in many cases,
for example reporting a "mass change/rebuild/bug/feature/etc/random".

2) Ethical: While many of the PKGBUILD are trivial changes to the
PKGBUILD.proto, beyond this, which made this PKGBUILD took some
maintenance time of work, and giving a kind of support for it. So, I
think it is important that this be retained.


My two cents ;)
