Contacting the maintainer before filing a request is a good practice,
whether you ask his package to be orphaned, deleted or merged into
another. ;)

Maybe we should patch
https://git.archlinux.org/aurweb.git/tree/web/template/pkgreq_form.php?h=v4.4.1
to add that for merge and deletion (it’s already there for orphan).

Since renaming = pushing a package with the new name + filing a request
to merge the old one in the new one, this doesn’t make any sense.

That’s OK. I’ll monitor the situation with
firefox-aurora/firefox-dev/firefox-developer from now on, and will wait
for things to be settled before accepting the current remaining requests.
