Please delete the snake_ [1] package with 0 votes uploaded today.
It's the same software provided by the snake_pygame [2] package.
It the meanwhile take a look at the snake_pygame PKGBUILD, really
utterly broken. I hope to avoid to see stuff like that again.

Hey everyone,
I send this maintainer an email about a week ago asking for them to
orphan or update [1] as it is woefully out-of-date by packaging
standards (it would not even build for me without some serious
modifications). I know the standard practice is to wait two weeks, but
on looking closer at the maintainer's history [2], they have not voted
since the middle of 2012, and their last package update was made earlier
in 2012 than their last vote. It would appear that the account is
largely no longer active.
If the TUs would like me to wait the rest of the standard two-week
period before orphaning the package, that is fine, but I figured it
might be worth while making y'all aware of the essentially inactive
account.
All the best,
-Sam

Hi,
The Trusted Users list is a bit different between Archweb and AUR. It
looks like it's unclear which developer is a TU also. This means that
we don't know how many active TUs are there, therefore can't ensure
that the quorum meets on each votes. There are four categories:
1. The following developers are listed on Arch Linux Trusted Users
page[1], and their account type is 'Trusted User' in AUR:
- Bartłomiej Piotrowski (Barthalion)
- Evangelos Foutras (foutrelis)
- Laurent Carlier (lordheavy)
- Sven-Hendrik Haase (svenstaro)
- Thomas Dziedzic (td123)
2. The following developers are listed on Arch Linux Trusted Users
page[1], but their account type is 'Developer' in AUR:
- Dave Reisner (falconindy)
- Florian Pritz (Bluewind)
- Jan Steffens (heftig)
- Ray Rashif (schivmeister)
3. The following developers are not listed on Arch Linux Trusted Users
page[1], but their account type is 'Trusted User' in AUR:
- Ángel Velásquez (angvp)
- Gerardo Pozzi (djgera)
4. The following developer is not listed on Arch Linux Trusted Users
page[1], and his account type is 'Developer' in AUR, but still takes
part in votes:
- Ronald van Haren (pressh)
According to Trusted User Bylaws, TUs (and only TUs) must take part in
votes. Therefore there should be a clear implementation like this:
- Developers who want to take part in votes should set their account
type to 'Trusted User' (or to a new 'Developer+Trusted User' type) in
AUR, and they should be added to the Arch Linux Trusted Users page[1].
- Developers who don't want to take part in votes should set their
account type to 'Developer' in AUR, and they should be removed from
the Arch Linux Trusted Users page[1].
- Users with 'Developers' account type in AUR should not be allowed to vote.
What is your opinion?
