+1 for deletion, but only because this foreign brinary based PKGBUILD is very badly configured: does not declare its provides, conflicts and dependencies except for qt5-base. So it is clearly inferior to upstream-provided .pkg.tar.zst (pacman package).

Thanks for checking this! Now, I realize that my request message was quite brief. My understanding is that pacman packages are no allowed because you could simple do pacman -U https://url/to/package.pkg.tar.zst without the need to unpack and repack the same thing (which makes no sense). For these type of packages, it is better to store them in a repository. Also, I'm positive that this reasoning for deletion has been accepted in the past. And the rules of submission say (#6) "The AUR should not contain the binary tarball created by makepkg" which is what this package is. So, IMO, this should be deleted. OTOH, the package could be updated to use the appimage instead, but it's been three months and I haven't seen any complain/comment from the maintainer.
