conflicts with what the guide says[1], doesn't it? "If you are assuming the role of maintainer for an existing PKGBUILD"
Based on what has been said in this thread, I don't think so. They did not take maintainership over an existing PKGBUILD, they wrote a new one from scratch, and disabled the AUR repo, as is custom when software already exists in official repos.

It doesn't look like they used your PKGBUILD at all, there's nothing there for you to be credited for.
By the same rule of thumb if you adopt a package in the AUR and rewrite the PKGBUILD you should not credit the previous maintainers. This conflicts with what the guide says[1], doesn't it?
I personally have adopted packages, completely rewritten PKGBUILD and kept the names before me out of respect for their work.
I guess in the end it depends on the individual and the kind of person you are.
