Hi Marcell, understood. Thanks for shedding some light on the process.
But - TLDR - if you agree to the deletion, you can file a new deletion request as maintainer (and in that case, keep ownership of the package). Done.

Hi Sergej,
Thank you for your response.
On AUR, package owners cannot effect technical acceptance or rejection of submitted requests.
But - TLDR - if you agree to the deletion, you can file a new deletion request as maintainer (and in that case, keep ownership of the package).
Maintainers' requests can get priority treatment by Trusted Users. They can list such as a separate category on AURweb. It is helpful for them, as those submissions bear stronger credence as to the validity and reasonability of the proposed action.
Regular requests submitted by people other the maintainer typically have much longer waiting time before they get acted upon. (Currently around 2.5 month.)
Cheers, Marcell (MarsSeed)

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-bintrees [2]:
This Python2 library is not used by any other pkg, so I propose deletion.
[1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python2-bintrees/ Hi all,
pkg maintainer here. If this helps to speed up the process: I agree with the deletion request and the reasoning behind it.
I'd rather see it deleted rather than orphaned. But I can also just disown it. Is there a proper process to follow in this case? [0] doesn't explicitly mention if and how pkg owner should react.
Best regards, Sergej
