So you remember how your helper asks you to see diffs … you take a look at those and understand them before approving, right?

Because I’m getting the sense that people are not doing that

I think this shows that the process of changing ownership of an orphaned package needs to be a manual process.

Of course, AUR packages also need to be thoroughly vetted by the end users to avoid unexpected changes.

this is awful. the aur is my favorite feature of arch based distros.
