Request #14173 has been rejected by eschwartz [1]: As I am both a Trusted User and the maintainer of this package, I feel triply qualified to state that this package builds fine, and will not be orphaned. It was flagged out of date for erroneous reasons a mere handful of days before this orphan request, in fact -- which also means that no real chance was given for the maintainer to respond to the orphan flag by either updating it or rejecting it. (I have now rejected it...) Furthermore, the rules of the AUR state that you are not permitted to request a *-git package to be orphaned merely to "update" it, as -git packages do not have a fixed version and thus cannot be out of date (unless they do not build). https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Foo_in_the_AUR_is_...
