    ‘Bring maintained by their dev’ sounds kind of redundant. As long as you are not close with them that sounds like a bad take

      As in the official GitHub or whatever repo they’re using lists their aur package as an install message. So I’m not just downloading a potential clone/fake package with a similar name that could’ve been orphaned and taken over in the recent aur malware campaigns

      tbh I do feel like it’s somewhat relevant in this case since the packages that were compromised on the AUR were due to the AUR’s package transfer ability for unmaintained packages

        But you still will not be notified when this changes?

        Admittedly the dev maintaining the aur sounds better than random person…
