Not that I care about the package itself but most of the criticisms laid out are subjective.

Nothing listed above is explicitly laid out in the guidelines for user-packages: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Unofficial_user_repositories#Adding_your_repository_to_this_page

Unless I'm missing something, /opt is intended for user programs. If you have a better idea of where it should be, I'd love to hear it, but again, not inherently a valid reason for removal.

All the best,

self-published shellscript with no votes. After extensively reading
the source I sort of think *maybe* it's supposed to chown+chgrp+chmod
a file/directory all at once, but it ha a super vague  pkgdesc,
unhelpful --help, and you can just use chown/chmod/chgrp directly with
less bother. It definitely does not meet the guidelines for "useful to
more than one person".

The main problem, though, is that this installs itself directly to
/opt using sudo.
