Seems strange the AUR package was posted and orphaned on 2020-03-18? The person who uploaded it was interested in providing a solution for the forum user whose python/pygtk based plugin no longer worked -- and in demonstrating how that solution could be achieved in the general case.
The person who uploaded it was not interested in providing long-term maintenance of that AUR package, therefore, it was immediately orphaned.
Seems pretty clear-cut to me.
Thank you Eli -- it clear now. From an overview I deduced as much but didn't have the back-story. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
