there should be some kind of notification system whenever something goes unmaintained. ive used unmaintained software for way too long before finding out theres some fork.
On arch's user repository, packages can get marked as out of date, unmaintained, and sometimes removed entirely.
i didnt know that, is the user notified somehow?
My AUR helper trizen tells me, yes.
