Request #27358 has been rejected by alerque [1]: If something isn't working the first thing to do is comment with your issue. Also for VCS packages that have had build system changes –and in the event you know what that change is— it *might* be fair to file an out-of-date flag with a comment explaining how the build system has been obsoleted with perhaps a link to the upstream change. If you don't know whether your error is related to a build system change then just a comment with your error would be better. Only if that gets no response from the maintainer far a while would an orphan request make sense so that somebody else can take over. Right now I don't see that the first step of alerting the existing maintainer to an issue has been done. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/alerque/
