Well, for anything that is somewhat controversial I think aur-general is
fine, since aur-requests probably doesn't have many subscribers
(especially not many non-TUs).

However, I don't think these package removals were controversial.

I contacted the owner of these packages and included a link to this
discussion and asked what's the problem he tries to solve, since at
least one of the packages was recent (from this year).
The deletion showed that this is not the right solution,
but he probably still wants to solve his problem ;-)
