Hi, I'll start this off with an anecdotal story:
When I first became a TU, I just gave short (but polite and friendly) notices when moving packages from AUR to [community], because I felt I was in the right to just move them at will (if they fullfilled the requirements for being moved, of course). This was only in the very beginning. After a short while I started asking AUR maintainers nicely if they were okay with it if I moved the package instead. Everyone has said yes so far. The result is the same, but it feels better to ask people and to give them a choice, for everyone involved. The rules are a great tool when needed, but (gentle?) social interaction makes the whole thing more enjoyable for everyone. When that's said, the motivation for increasing the quality of the AUR packages is a good one. There are thousands of AUR packages and just a few TUs, so if a TU should be a bit strict once in a while, while doing maintenence, bear with us. I think it's better overall. tl;dr Ioni is always right - Alexander
