I am an Arch user and also maintain a utility called libinput-gestures at https://github.com/bulletmark/libinput-gestures which is used by quite a few people. A number of people there asked me to create an AUR package which I have now done. However, just before I got to submit the package, somebody else hacked up something which they submitted as libinput-gestures so they took the package name. I asked him to disown and remove the package which he agreed and did so within an hour or so as discussed in https://github.com/bulletmark/libinput-gestures/issues/6. However even though the package is gone from the AUR web page I find the git repo still exists on aur.archlinux.org which means he will be forever credited as the originator of the package. I know it seems picky but I would prefer to be credited as the originator, not just the maintainer.

So can I ask that the repo be fully deleted? I have my version of a PKGBUILD ready to submit but it bares no relationship to whatever was there before so the git history is irrelevant.

Thanks.
