"out of date" or Orphan package; how to help ?
Hi,
I have found several packages in AUR marked as "out of date" or Orphan. I would like to help to update them, or take them as a maintainer.
However, I am not a Trusted User currently so I can't do this.
Is there any way that I could better help on this, aside from leaving a comment to the package ?

If they are an "orphan", you can just adopt them - don't need to be a TU.

To be more precise, Unsupported orphans can be adopted by anyone. Community orphans can only be adopted by TUs.
Out-of-date packages in Unsupported should be flagged for the maintainer's attention. If an Unsupported package is significantly out of date, you can ask for it to be orphaned by contacting the aur-general mailing list.
