It does make sense, at least to me, to have your name and email

didn't create it. However, I don't think there is any policy about
this. I have seen some "custom" tags, which I can't remember exactly
and of course much misuse of the maintainer tag - I am guilty of that
one myself.
What one could do to prevent further misuse of the Maintainer tag
would be introducing a new tag like AUR-Maintainer and put it in the
wiki. Notice that this is just an example, I wouldn't be against
calling this different. It wouldn't stop the "Maintainer Tag problem"
all at once, but it might help reducing it.
I've never understood this rule, especially when I was enforcing it.
Why aren't AUR maintainers allowed to use the maintainer tag?
I agree. It is not as if people get confused and think a package is
official just because of that tag. Or am I giving people too much
credit... :P
