This conflicts with what the guide says[1], doesn't it? I personally have adopted packages, completely rewritten PKGBUILD and kept the names before me out of respect for their work.
And I agree that Arch packagers should do this, we want to get more people to become a package maintainer and the AUR is good starting ground to get recognized for your work.
I guess in the end it depends on the individual and the kind of person you are.
I hope you didn't mean it as harsh as it sounds, everyone makes mistakes or unintended changes which does not imply they meant any harm.
