`Make sure the package you want to upload is useful. Will anyone else want to
use this package? Is it extremely specialized? If more than a few people would
find this package useful, it is appropriate for submission.`

4 stars on github and...0 votes on the AUR (?) would probably constitute a very
specialized package. This was handled with a deletion request and not blindly
deleted, so I don't see the fuzz here personally.
