imo, there should be automatic tags like "active", "abandoned", "maintainer changed recently", "updated after hiatus" and a few more.

The arch devs and community can decide on the time frames. It's not going to be perfect, but it may help warn users of the changes and so they can do a double take.

Anything other than the "active" ones should show what changed (paru already does this) and users should make a conscious choice to install it anyway. (y/N) instead of going through the installation spamming the return key.
