Well... when I see something freaky on the AUR, I don't usually bother
consulting the maintainer before filing a deletion request. Their
opinion doesn't matter when they violate the AUR guidelines. :)

Anyway, maintainers get CC'ed so it's all good.

Not sure why you need to wait. :)

firefox-developer was uploaded I guess when Mozilla stopped officially
calling it "aurora"? So their respective maintainers should figure it
out between them, while we spectators assume good faith.

However, firefox-dev is a straight-up rules violation serving no
purpose. I don't see much good faith there, and even ignorance of the
rules doesn't justify keeping it up. It also has highly suspicious
undertones of "hostile takeover", although I am not sure why anyone
might care that much... the deletion request for firefox-developer kinda
triggered me.
