No you don't need a TU's help, you just need an explanation as to how the AUR expects you to do what you want to do.
I contacted the previous maintainer of this package (Wesley Moore) regarding this package since it wasn't populating in the aur. I received the following message:
Hi Dan,
I deleted the package mid September as there are now proper releases for fd. I can't see it on aur.archlinux.org either so not sure I can add you as a maintainer.
This was silly, "there are now proper releases" is not a reason to dislike the idea of having the option to install a development release.
Regards, Wes
I can clone fd-rs-git, but am unable to push changes to the aur:

The hook told you exactly the problem: you cannot push an fd-git pkgbase to the fd-rs-git repository. You will need to push an fd-rs-git pkgbase containing updates that were inspired by fd-git. Once you have created the updated fd-rs-git pkgbase, you can submit a merge request to have the comments for fd-git transferred to the fd-rs-git package. But I wouldn't bother as the only comments are discussing the actual move. Just resubmit the software as an update to the fd-rs-git package, and submit a deletion request for the fd-git package. -- Eli Schwartz
