Request #10308 has been rejected by Eschwartz [1]: 1) That's not a reason to *delete* it. 2) The PyPI namespace for pypugjs has active development *and* a permanent home at https://github.com/kakulukia/pypugjs/ This indicates to me that @kakulukia was given access to the PyPI namespace by the original developer, and should therefore be considered the canonical upstream source. 3) The AUR maintainer is quite active, and it seems pypugjs has only *just* undergone a "disappearing act" or "legitimate, sanctioned handoff of ownership", take your pick. Instead of going ape and trying to delete the package, consider submitting a comment on the package details page politely asking for an update, and take things from there.
