Want to abandon packages in the AUR interface, but lost my password.

Some people suggested to adopt some of my (out of date) packages, but I can't log in the AUR interface to abandon theses packages. What should I do ?

Post a list of the packages you want to orphan on aur-general, so that a TU can do it for you.

Re: Want to abandon packages in the AUR interface, but lost my password.

I tried to post to that list but my message is still on hold and waiting for a moderator approval (It's been more than a month), because I'm not member of the list.

I have no intention to become a member of that list, and people are waiting to adopt my packages.

It's a shame, there should be a way for TU to orphan packages without any action from the author of the PKGBUILD.

Orphaned them all.
