You miss him, don’t you? 
I can tell 
Someone made the mistake of asking on the Arch forum if some packages were safe - https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=313957…
Some would argue that the Chaotic AUR has proven its worth during this period of chaos in the AUR. They caught some of the affected packages because they scan for malware. Also you can still peruse the PKGBUILD and view the diffs from the previous version at the AUR website whenever an update is available.
But the Chaotic AUR doesn’t include every AUR package, so one may not be able to escape examining & assessing PKGBUILDs in order to stay safe and malware free.
For balance, others would argue that the Chaotic AUR is potentially unsafe and there is no substitute for building a package yourself, or scrutinising the PKGBUILD etc if using an AUR helper such as yay or paru.
