There are three types of requests that can be filed in the Package Actions box on the package details page:
- Orphan Request: Request a package to be disowned, e.g. when the maintainer is inactive and the package has been flagged out-of-date for a long time.
- Deletion Request: Request a package to be removed from the Arch User Repository. Please do not use this if a package is broken and can be fixed easily. Instead, contact the maintainer and file orphan request if necessary.
- Merge Request: Request a package to be merged into another one. Can be used when a package needs to be renamed or replaced by a split package.
If you want to discuss a request, you can use the aur-requests mailing list. However, please do not use that list to file requests.

General discussion regarding the Arch User Repository (AUR) and Package Maintainer structure takes place on aur-general. For discussion relating to the development of the AUR web interface, use the aur-dev mailing list.
If you find a bug in the AUR web interface, please fill out a bug report on our bug tracker. Use the tracker to report bugs in the AUR web interface only. To report packaging bugs contact the maintainer or leave a comment on the appropriate package page.
