ChrisLane [1] filed an orphan request for xorg-xwayland-git [2]:

After contacting tallero via email, I was informed that they are unable to maintain any AUR packages. Followed by them publishing my email on social media without asking...

Pellegrino Prevete (@tallero) registered his account on AUR in 2018, so it's laughable that he refers to it as "16 years of honored service".

He made hundreds of broken updates or dead-on-arroval new packages throughout these years.

He's had a stranglehold on legacy python2 packages like python2-pip for past 3 years, keeping it and its two dozen dependencies in a broken state.

He attacked not just other users but even AUR PM's like @Muflone, who was always polite with him and tried to offer help in fixing his dead packages, which he refused so he could continue to paint himself as a martyr.

I for one am happy to learn that now his main account, @tallero has been banned. (Previously I was only aware that his duplicate account, @truocolo was suspended on AUR.)

So is that a yes for the orphan request?

Uh, I'm just a fellow user on AUR, not a PM or staff member. ^.^ You'll have to wait until a PM approves the disowning. (Which might take a week or a few.) Cheers, Marcell / MarsSeed
