python2-feedgen is a Python library, so it shall be consumed by other Python2 code.
There is no such package on AUR that does that.
Arch repo carries the Python3 based variant, and that is used in repo by 'hotdoc' package.
Without Python2 based consuming modules, it is not useful for users to keep a Python2 library in AUR. Installing packages for local scripts is a valid use case.
There are also no votes or comments on its AUR page. Votes and comments are not a good indicator of use or usefulness especially for niche packets because only people with account can vote and may still not do so and comments are unnecessary for a working package.
So this is very clearly a case which is mentioned in the AUR submission guidelines, when a package is not needed by more than one person, it shall not be kept in the repo. The guidelines do not talk about need, only about potential usefulness.
