This is absolutely no-go because this way bugtracker will be flooded with out-of date messages that have no useful information. +1 for complete merging community into main website (with limited permissions for TUs) and removing community-related part of AUR (with a notice that if there was some important info in comments - it should be reported as bugs or it will be lost) (if there would be possibility to limit permissions per category then I would love to merge Community Packages bugtracker project as well, but that's not an option at this time). -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)
