Re: Requests and the etiquette involved

Looking at https://web.archive.org/web/20231017082509/https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/papermerge, it appears this has been marked out of date since 2021-04-19. TrialnError was accepted as maintainer on the condition that they could get v2 working, which they only did by starting work on the mentioned papermerge-core package. While it shouldn't matter at all, the orphan request still seems quite pointless when a merge request already exists. I've CC'd MarsSeed.

But today came the next surprise. An orphan request with the words
"Orphaning to facilitate quicker merging to papermerge-core.". Which got
granted and subsequently taken by the new "maintainer". Again without
trying to contact me beforehand.

It appears that it was auto-accepted, which would mean that it had been marked
out-of-date for more than 180 days. This is the threshold that the AUR
maintainers have set to consider it abandoned. Leaving it out of date for that
long, this shouldn't have been such a surprise.
