I would ask that the maintainer open a request to merge the packages, then, given the comment history that I read shows you being belligerent about conky-lua-nv being unncessary as the maintainer rightfully defends a package that predates the one you claim to be superior.
Marcell, you are not the deciding factor in a request being approved—ultimately, it is up to us to decide what is accepted and what is rejected. None of us have the time to keep up with your ten new package requests a day, much less write out lengthy "valid, concrete reasons" in an additional email when we decide to deny one of yours. I suggest you think on that.

Thank you for your honest answer. But I don't think your this tone against me is warranted, I feel it to be even condescending a bit. And I take some issue with you labeling me belligerent, as I don't think it holds merit. Packages on AUR are only useful until they offer something unique. When an Arch repo package starts to offer the same, then no matter how much sentimental value an AUR package carries, it becomes obsolete. But stating it as such is not meant at all as a personal devaluation of the maintainer. Please kindly don't paint me as some kind of a hostile force, because I am not that at all. And the reason I stated my assertions about this package was exactly to invoke participation of others in this. They can refute me, they can freely express opposing views to mine. But by labeling me pushy just because of me taking initiative, that is an ad hominem attack against me actually. Please think about this dynamic as well, and please please keep me in somewhat more in good faith, as I also always try to do so with others. Thank you very much for your consideration. And again, I appreciate your selfless volunteering efforts that you make for this community. Cheers, Marcell / MarsSeed P.s when I started submitting requests relating to conky packages on AUR, there was 10-12 in total of them. No one else but me took the time to try to make sense of them and try to make some effort in separating the unique and viable and needed ones from the ones that are superfluous. I think that my honest efforts that I have put into the benefit of this community should earn me some credit as well. Just my 2c.
