I am preparing another list, but much more extensive. But first I have a question: in unsupported the packages.tar.gz may contain "tarballs" of the sources?, because I see that there are
several that have this? (some are a mistake of the user that uploaded that and in array of source download of the homepage) In the AUR Guidelines there is no reference to this.
Nope. Just the buildscript and any necessary requirements that cannot be
downloaded by the user. You won't be stopping soon, that I can assure you.
There are bound to be such packages around..

Hello,
findwild was mine, I did a fresh upload, that fixed it.
I deleted micq (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=7928) because
last update was 2006 and the maintainer did not respond to the comments
of several users (program was renamed to climm).
For *the other packages I left a comment. The
AUR comment page looks strange. Where I expect the comment button, there
is the word "poop".
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=20933 is okay, there are only
small files uploaded.
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=14252 is okay, too.
Thank you for notification.
Regards Stefan

I was deleting some of the files. Have a look at the tarballs though.
They're much bigger than your average set of build scripts.
Where are you seeing 'poop'?

This is the best exchange on this list yet.
If the button text changed, I imagine someone (wizzo?) was testing something

Oops, I probably should look up words I do not know before posting them.
There may be little children reading this.

I was seeing it too, when I used the link from a notification email. I
think it happens when the URL is malformed... the name of the
commenter was appended to the URL after the package ID, and all
comments on the page were gone leaving "poop" there.
