Hello,

I've seen this user squats many packages dropped which are either
dropped to AUR or abandoned, and then adds other people who are
actually interested in said packages to co-maintainers. I've had this
happen to me with 3 packages, which are also mentioned in examples
list below.

In the past few months I have seen this user push various nonsense
commits to many packages.

Some examples are:

ruby-rails (and dependencies) where only pkgver was bumped, without
testing any build. This resulted in build failures for simple reasons
such as missing files:
https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/commit/?h=ruby-actionview&id=a98abc6367486767d475979b4d351c2d66e16b5b
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ruby-actionview#comment-1019144

pyload-ng, pushing changes without pulling first and other nonsense
"updated" commits without testing also visible in git log
https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/commit/?h=pyload-ng&id=c91cc2cb90daa4342b838a5852cd2bc07564c432

librewolf-hg, package "fixed" which resulted in pkgbuild being unusable
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/librewolf-hg#comment-981229

python-dukpy, changing license file name from right to wrong which
prevented install:
https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/commit/?h=python-dukpy&id=2ddc02e9fa6818a8ece495cc482b418e5ad2dea8
https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/commit/?h=python-dukpy&id=9d7aab0205562bdde8c018028089c51cb41b3b56

python-glfw, bumping pkgver, but this did not actually result in new
version being built:
https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=python-glfw#n13

These examples are not from malice or anything, but from not testing
changes and incompetence.


"Let him who is without sin cast the first stone", but I think that
such over such long period of time (~6 months at least) mistakes in
packaging without seemingly any improvement show that matthewq337
doesn't care about state of packages. I am therefore calling for
moderator action, to prevent this from happening so that Matthew can
reflect.

Kind regards,
