[aur-general] [AUR] Orphan all old packages flagged as out-of-date

[Ernie Brodeur]

Hello,

A thought from the new guy . . .

At three months, if it gets orphaned they can always reclaim it and actually
start maintaining it.

Maybe a notification that they were affected by the orphaning?  or a grace
window?

it would be a graceful compromise between the two.
