Hello Drew,
I am a fan of your work on Sway and wlroots, but some of your statements left me pretty disappointed.

Although I don't have high expectations when dealing with AUR packages, it is absolutely the maintainers job to keep track of upstream updates. This mindset is probably the reason why there is so much out of date stuff on the AUR. It strikes me that a maintainer who doesn't keep track of his own packages wants to become a TU.
