No you don't need a TU's help, you just need an explanation as to how
the AUR expects you to do what you want to do.

This was silly, "there are now proper releases" is not a reason to
dislike the idea of having the option to install a development release.

The hook told you exactly the problem: you cannot push an fd-git pkgbase
to the fd-rs-git repository. You will need to push an fd-rs-git pkgbase
containing updates that were inspired by fd-git.

Once you have created the updated fd-rs-git pkgbase, you can submit a
merge request to have the comments for fd-git transferred to the
fd-rs-git package.

But I wouldn't bother as the only comments are discussing the actual move.

Just resubmit the software as an update to the fd-rs-git package, and
submit a deletion request for the fd-git package.
