Eschwartz [1] filed a deletion request for update-pacman-mirrorlist [2]: The AUR is not a hosting provider for source code, and whether that source code uses a compiler to compile to an ELF binary is irrelevant to that fact. Additionally, "reflector" which is in community and has existed far longer than this program, does everything that this program does, better than this program does (with the exception of the systemd timer for daily mirrorlist updates, because daily mirrorlist updates are objectively stupid). The maintainer has previously been warned against this in the comments, and justified using the AUR as a hosting provider because: "No, I really do not. What advantage would that bring? It would most certainly over complicate the PKGBUILD and management of the project, introduce additional potential for downtime, and require another trusted party to host code." In addition to deleting this pkgbase, someone with backend access should probably purge it too, since the aur.git backend really shouldn't have to store non-buildfiles resources in perpetuity (this is, after all, the reason the AUR code tries to reject all blobs above a certain size, and why actual hosting providers like Github exist).
