Are duplicate packages actively purged from AUR?
If you are interested in becoming active in the AUR, it is highly recommended to subscribe to the mailing list.

PKGBUILDs. I mean it took some time for maintainer to update it and often for small changes like version number
If you absolutely need the latest release right now and you can't wait a few days, you could just download the outdated PKGBUILD and update it for the new version locally. You can then still post a comment, if it takes more then a few days for any update.

They can be removed or merged:
* https://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail … 24742.html
* https://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail … 24743.html
* https://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail … 24744.html
You'll find plenty such e-mails on the ML.
]]>If you encounter a maintainer that's unresponsive both through comments and email (two weeks of no response is generally considered unresponsive), post a message to the AUR-General mailing list with a link to the package, and a request to orphan it. Explain the situation, including when you tried to contact the maintainer, what the response was (if any), and reason why you want to take over maintaining it (if applicable). You'll normally get a response within a day from a Trusted User, who can orphan the package for you, or refuse the request (for whatever reason).
