'daily digest' , this is what explains my late response.

Hello,
What are good practices of re-submitting deleted AUR3 packages? Namely
'strongswan-git'.

Hello Yassine,
For strongSwan, a git package (even though there existed one once) does
not make sense, because the git master branch is relatively unstable.
If you actually want an up to date strongSwan package that is usable,
you need to curate the commits.
Just follow the best practices that are outlined on the wiki[1].
