There's 59 TUs looking after 70676 packages and moderating 85141

One of them is not submitting "-latest" packages that are already in
the repos.
But the implementation is not uniform, and non-TUs must heed
implementation as well. Both of these things are obvious, I suspect.
Not creating a thousand AUR packages when a maintainer is twenty minutes
late incrementing gnome-pizza-maker is an unqualified good, but not
having a community bandage when work on a maintained package is stalled
but not abandoned for over a year seems less good. If the people
behind AUR say that this is a situation where community tools are off
limits, that's a notable surprise to me and I'll submit my mild objection.
