[1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/neitsab/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/primitive-git/ Please don't delete it. Upstream does not have any tagged release, and AUR/primitive is a VCS package in disguise, which should be merged into primitive-git (PRQ#66641) [1].
The '-git' pkgname suffix is mandatory. The package is now an orphan, which can be adopted and modernized. [1]: https://lists.archlinux.org/archives/list/aur-requests@lists.archlinux.org/t...

My idea was to get primitive-git deleted since: - it's never been updated since its initial upload - its PKGBUILD doesn't respect neither Go nor VCS packaging guidelines (as a commenter noted in... 2019) and then get primitive renamed into primitive-git. Would that be okay with you? We're talking about a package whose upstream hasn't been touched since 2020 and with a grand total of respectively 1 and 4 votes for primitive-git and primitive, so I doubt it will be earth shattering to too many users. Of course if we can merge primitive into primitive-git while keeping the PKGBUILD of the former (after it's hopefully fixed by its maintainer -- I posted a diff for it in its comments), all the better.
Request #66609 has been Rejected by Muflone [1]: maintainer seems to have changed idea and now is maintaining the package [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/Muflone/
