Hi,
It is great that you want to look after your own package. However the way you chose to do so is not how to get maintainership of one.
Basically you created a duplicate package with an obfuscated name (going against the current convention of naming gnome-shell themes) and asked a Trusted User to merge an existing one into yours. While at the same time not even leaving a comment on the existing package asking for mainainership or at the very least to discuss your plans.
I am more than happy to disown the package for you to pickup however please consider to act in a more circumspect manner in regards to stripping other users of packages.
BTW I noticed that both of you got the pkgver wrong in different ways. The original package uses a commit count without prefixing that using "r", so now there is no sane upgrade path to the newly tagged v3.26 (based on a completely divergent history of course) as per https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VCS_package_guidelines#Git The duplicate package includes the "v" and a Useless Use of Echo... You'll have no choice now but to include an epoch in order to preserve a monotonically increasing pkgver. -- Eli Schwartz Bug Wrangler and Trusted User
