How to deal with duplicate packages in AUR?
What is the best way to report a duplicate package (often one version is orphaned and another has a maintainer... but both are still the same package) so that one (if one is orphaned, probably the orphaned one) can be deleted? Would I want to contact a TU? And how would I do that? Post in the Discussions section?

Actually I would say that if you know they are the "exact" same thing, just adopt the orphan and then delete it.

Only TU's can delete packages now. A safety measure to stop the evil minority...
