To the aur general list, to confirm Pellegrino Prevete's statements, I built the sushi-git PKGBUILD as of commit 6ec6fd1ff4f873c6e3a16d5cb90c5d01448b032b. This was Prevete's last commit before losing control, and it happened June 18, two months after Prevete was notified of the dependency issue by xiota: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/sushi-git?O=10#comment-909320 The build failed in a clean chroot as xiota reported. Likewise, replacing the webkit2gtk dependency with webkit2gtk-4.1, as xiota suggested, fixed the build error. I don't have any special standing in this community, but for this reason, I would be opposed to making Prevete a trusted user, especially if they are specifically seeking power to settle a grudge against xiota. On a more positive note, I would like to say thanks in general for how good the devtools package is. I've been hacking together clean-builds on my own with booting into another partition, and I'm just blown away at how easy-to-use devtools is. Cheers to Polyak et al.

This statement is false; the package has been orphaned one day after I updated it. Gromit is the same person who rejected request to merge conflicting vte3-git and vte4-git into non-conflicting vte-git metapackage the other day.
