this is the intended purpose of the AUR. it was never promised to be high quality or secure code, which is why there are warnings against using it if that is your concern. moth wonders why you complain about something you were told you must accept when using the AUR.
Its a common courtesy that if you publish something on the AUR, then you actually think people would use it and you plan to maintain it. You don't bother pushing some half baked afterthought to the AUR. Leave it on github. Otherwise you're just squatting a perfectly good AUR package name.
