Guys,
I've seen recent "Request to Ophan package XYZ" posts, and I've
found some
fairly large AUR packages that are orphaned (like RPM5). But, how do
AUR
packages get new maintainers? Does somebody monitor the orphans and
then divvy
them out among those with write privileges in AUR or does somebody
have to say
I'll take package X on?

Really dude? You've been using arch for how long and still have these
elementary questions?
Think about you questions and try to find answer before you post to
the list. Alternatively hire an arch tutor.
And who on earth are you?
Well I'm pyther and I've been around since '05. You?
It is extremely annoying to see these elementary and many times
unrelated emails on this list. David has had a history of not bothering
to do simple searches to find answers to his questions. Arch is a
do-it-yourself type of distro. I don't mind helping folks when they run
into problems, but they have to show that they have made some attempt to
help themselves. Just having a general idea of how the AUR works would
have answered David's question.
If you use arch you should be able to use the wiki, man pages, and
google, at the minimum.
