So, I have given all maintainers 2 weeks to respond. Here's the status:


https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/dmenu-hg-config/ Its maintainer has created a new package, please merge with https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/dmenu-config-git/
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/dmenu-hg-xdg/ Its maintainer didn't respond, please delete this package
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/9base-hg/ Its maintainer didn't respond, please merge with https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/9base-git/
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/sic-hg/ Its maintainer wants me to be the new maintainer, please merge with https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/sic-git/
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/slock-hg/ The maintainer is a TU and already took care of it
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/sprop-hg/ Its old maintainer wants me to be the new maintainer, please merge with https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/sprop-git/

The AUR nice and clean again ... at least a bit MORE clean ;)
