The requests queue is getting pretty filled with requests for packages that quite clearly have been abandoned with no chance of them ever becoming useful. It can be pretty exhausting to keep up with that queue!In particular, there's a lot of "low-hanging fruit" packages that can be pruned from the AUR: Orphaned, 0 votes, last updated years ago packages are hardly worth keeping around, are they? Has such a conversation popped up before? I didn't find anything in the archives past the patch by Lukas enabling automatic orphaning of an OOD package after 180 days. [1] If automatically deleting packages on a schedule isn't welcome, would it make sense to at least explore a patch wherein a deletion request for e.g. an orphaned package/<10 votes/last updated >=2 years ago is automatically accepted?
I can recall many times NetSysFire talking about how hard maintaining wiki pages could be when there isn't a deletion request for an AUR package in #archlinux-aur.
I'm not sure how they can handle this automatic deletion of packages without a request for it, maybe a list of automatically deleted packages suffice?
