I searched in the AUR for pam_u2f-git and nothing came up.

So I wrote my own package (https://github.com/Manouchehri/AUR-pam_u2f-git/blob/master/PKGBUILD), and went to push it... and got denied. Turns out it does exist!

Any idea what's going on here?

Packages 'deleted' from AUR4 are just 'hidden', that is, they cannot be found through the web interface, but their git repo is still kept. In this case, just clone the repo, make your changes, and push.
