        <h3>Flagging Packages</h3>
        <p>If you notice that a package is out-of-date (i.e., there is a newer
        <strong>stable</strong> release available), then please notify us by
        using the <strong>Flag</strong> button in the <em>Package Details</em>
        screen.  This will notify the maintainer(s) responsible for that
        package so they can update it. If the package is unmaintained, the
        notification will be sent to a developer mailing list.</p>

        <p>The message box portion of the flag utility is optional, and meant
        for short messages only. If you need more than 200 characters for your
        message, then file a bug report, email the maintainer directly, or send
        an email to the <a target="_blank" href="https://mailman.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch-general"
            title="Visit the arch-general mailing list">arch-general mailing list</a>
        with your additional text.</p>

        <p><strong>Note:</strong> Please do <em>not</em> use this facility if the
        package is broken! Use the <a target="_blank" href="https://bugs.archlinux.org/"
            title="Arch Linux Bugtracker">bugtracker</a> instead.</p>
