I'm actually a bit unsure, I only have surrounding incidents where the same
happened. One of the r- package maintainers deleted their account and
subsequently removed a bunch of r packages in AUR. My reaction to this was
mostly "oh, probably intended!".

I wonder if this only happens when the maintainer creates "fresh packages" and
deleted their account?
