Yes I am aware of filters (I worked in Gmail UI team btw). I already
have 300+ filters and I hate to add more, especially for one-time
notifications.

Forcing everyone to create a filter for aur notifications sounds wrong
to me. Most people just will not do this. And I think "invisible"
message by default + people's laziness to create filters is the reason
why it is more difficult to get a package maintainer response via
comments rather than via personal email.

Most web sites (such as forums) known to me send notifications "to:"
user exactly for this reason - make these messages visible by default.
