It's one of the request types you may file from the AUR web site. Orphan, Merge, or Delete. Merge also asks for the name of the candidate to merge into.

 I am sorry Sir, but I am not confident with the AUR, and am not able in these days to look up how to do this "merge".

Greetings, Giuseppe

As I said, it should be a merge request, so that requests to the old package get redirected.

I request the deletion of this package for two reasons: 1) the package is out-of-date 2) More importantly this has changed name to "kb" since it is not a python module, but more a program

Should still be a merge request, once the package has been edited and pushed to the correct name.
