Keeping a personal list of AUR packages

Question

Hi,
I am not sure this is the correct section.
I am aware it is possible to vote and get notified for AUR package changes. However, that would be handy if it was possible to have a list of flagged AUR packages. That would make it easy to check at a glance which packages have been updated or their discussion have received new posts.
Would that be difficult to implement ?
Thanks a lot.

Yes, my idea which most likely will never be true on Arch, solves both of you what you say, so i dont see how you are on the other end of the spectrum.
I dont nessesarily mean yaourt to be official, but a similar function implemented in pacman would take care of it also.
This way more users submit semi-official scripts, which are first reviewed by TUs, and then uploaded to AUR, thus more people than now take part in actual development, but also the AUR is suplementary to the packages developers build. Also there are less package rebuilds as there are less binaries.
I find a great advantage to that the fact that people who would maintain scripts, would actually use the package, which is very important and would probably increase the quality of the provided application, cause that is not the case for a large number of binary packages ATM.
This of course has downsides too, most major of which probably being that the AUR will not be the same as it is now.
