Quoting shoober420 via aur-general (2018-11-03 19:49:53)
Regardless of my past, I still haven’t been given a reason to being rejected for maintaining “sdl2-hg”, when I have a PKGBUILD ready to upload. I have a lot of AUR packages to contribute, and its being halted by misunderstandings of my humor. I can argue me being banned from the forums were misunderstandings as well.
I'm not a TU, but looking at the aur-requests archieves, "Yo I got this my dude." doesn't really explain why the package should be orphaned. You should probally mention that there's an issue with the package, and you have a better PKGBUILD. Based on the policies of the AUR, you are supposed to try to contact the package maintainer first. Given you commented and flagged the package out of date just a couple days ago, you should probably wait a while before filing an orphan request.
