Request #10330 has been rejected by Eschwartz [1]: The current maintainer did a pretty horrifying thing by converting it from a working git package into a baseless stable package duplicating the repos: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/commit/PKGBUILD?h=libgit2-git&id=f0c4c817fac97da1d37229ad15c0b025548df6ee But that is *not* a reason to file an orphan request until you actually discuss it with the maintainer. You flagged it out of date today, and already you want to orphan it??? You claim the maintainer said it would take weeks to fix, but this certainly wasn't given such a timeframe in the comments section. Give the maintainer a chance to fix it. Come back if and when you have a good reason for asking this to be orphaned. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/Eschwartz/
