MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for plasma-mediacenter [2]:
Orphaned package, dropped from Arch in 2020. KDE has migrated, then
inactivated its source repo. This application was developed for KDE
Plasma 4 and was only maintained until KDE Plasma 5.7. (Current Plasma
version is 5.24.*)
Last release was in 2016.
It was reported broken already as of 2018 (on Plasma 5.12 / 5.13):

and.html
KDE has moved on to a new replacement project which is actively being
developed:
https://plasma-bigscreen.org/
Safe to delete this broken, orphaned, discontinued application
package. Nothing in AUR depends on it.

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for kde-servicemenus-unarchiver
[2]:
I suggest this old .desktop link from 2015 intended for KDE's default
Dolphin file manager and the Unarchiver CLI package last updated in
2020 can be safely deleted.
Today the Dolphin file manager works perfectly with KDE's default
archive manager tool, Ark, which supports a wide range of archive file
formats and it even has multiple alternative optional dependencies
that support the LZO format specifically. Unarchiver is not the best
choice for that IMHO, because it is unmaintained. But Ark can directly
use the Unarchiver package from Arch, one only has to install the
latter as an optional dependency, no other setup needed. With Ark
installed, Dolphin file manager's file/directory context menu offers
Compress and Extract options (where relevant).
Therefore this old plug-in link package is more limited that what KDE
today offers by default, in terms of archive file support.

pancho [1] filed an orphan request for guestfs-tools [2]:
Hi!
This package is in need of updating since at least a month (doesn't
build in its current state).
A fix was provided; mi intention is to adopt the package, apply the
fix, and add the current MIA maintainer as co-maintainer until they
show up.
Thanks, and happy hacking.
