I think that at minimum even an automated email with "Hey the package you maintained on AUR is now in extra/blah, your repository or parts of it may or may not have been used, thank you for your contributions!" sent to the Maintainer and Co-Maintainers of the package at the time would go a long way and would have zero controversy. Some of my things were adapted and I was confused and had to spend time figuring out what happened that could have been used elsewhere.
