I cannot flag packages out of date as I am not a registered maintainer/contributor. However, upon trying to install SithWM I found its PKGBUILD was out of date when using the newest Arch image.
I took the liberty of modifying the PKGBUILD such that it would install successfully (though I am unsure if it is entirely correct and/or up to par) in the hopes someone who can modify the AUR will do so. The modified PKGBUILD:
pkgname=sithwm
pkgver=1.2.3
pkgrel=3
pkgdesc="a minimalist window manager"
url="http://sithwm.darkside.no/sithwm.html"
arch=('i686' 'x86_64')
depends=('libx11')
license=('GPL')
source=("http://sithwm.darkside.no/sn/$pkgname-$pkgver.tgz")
md5sums=('15619f6977bb0cff32a1cdce49f6530d')
build() {
cd $srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver
make CNF=STORMTROOPER XROOT=/usr
}
package() {
cd $srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver
make DESTDIR=$pkgdir install
install -Dm644 README $pkgdir/usr/share/doc/$pkgname/README
}
I imagine this would actually constitute pkgrel=4 if someone takes the liberty of fixing it. Please note that I removed the install line thus eliminating the supplied sithwm.install file as I was unsure of its purpose save to inform the user of the location of the default.sithwmrc file.

http://sithwm.darkside.no/download.html shows the latest version available for download is 1.2.3 and the version in the AUR is also the same. So how is this out of date again ??
There's no such thing as a stupid question, but there sure are a lot of inquisitive idiots !

OP doesn't mean that the package is out-of-date, OP means that the PKGBUILD in the AUR apparently only has a build function (no package function), which is deprecated.
grimpirate, that does not constitute a reason to flag out-of-date, it constitutes a reason to send the AUR package maintainer a request to update the PKGBUILD to reflect modern syntax. It would be courteous of you to include your proposed correction in that message.
All the best,
