[PRQ#46178] Deletion Request for htcap-git
MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for htcap-git [2]: Unmaintained, broken VCS package from 2017. Upstream has been actively developed until 2020 but not since then. [a] Current AUR build still relies on the discontinued Qt5-WebKit-based PhantomJS, last released in 2016. Whereas upstream has switched to experimental support for headless Chrome in 2018. I think this abandoned project is not in a good shape, and the AUR package is similarly stale and defunct at this point. So I recommend deletion.

Upstream's maintenance has discontinued since 2021 [a], and is reported failing to execute, crashing with ImportErrors on Python 3.10 in 2022.
