[aur-general] AUR Maintenance

I read in the archives that comments were 95% repaired by Firmicus and 
the copy with a few illegal characters is:
/home/francois/aur-20100205-1859.sql.fixed2.xz on a server to which I do 
not yet have access. Since the comments are not back, I gather there is 
more to be done.

Could I please go through the comments and repair sentences that make 
sense? i.e. "s/Th#s wor#s for kd#4 but #ot kdemod/This works for kde4 
but not kdemod/" I will do this until everything is done or the only 
sentences left are unintelligible. The other problem is merging this 
with new comments that have been posted since the update. No one knows a 
reliable way to do this automatically, correct? And it would require 
adding countless database entries by hand? I am also prepared to get 
started on this brute force work. I will have several hours per week to 
devote to it. Please give me what I need to contribute! Thanks.
