But the implementation is not uniform, and non-TUs must heed 
implementation as well.   Both of these things are obvious, I suspect.

Not creating a thousand AUR packages when a maintainer is twenty minutes 
late incrementing gnome-pizza-maker is an unqualified good, but not 
having a community bandage when work on a maintained package is stalled 
but not abandoned for over a year seems less good.   If the people 
behind AUR say that this is a situation where community tools are off 
limits, that's a notable surprise to me and I'll submit my mild objection.
