Please review the submission guidelines:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AUR_submission_guidelines#Rules_of_submission

In particular:

(N.B. "Official upstream binary" is not considered a feature).

Even if there weren't a strict rule against uploading packages already 
in the official repositories, there's this:

I doubt that the official binary is something desirable to the 
larger community.

Consider maintaining your own personal PKGBUILD; many Archers do!
But please know that not every package belongs on the AUR.

Hope this helps!
