Hi, David. The packages were flagged for deletion the typical way:

https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-requests/2021-September/058446.html

https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-requests/2021-September/058447.html

I'm not sure what happened to gtkate.

Perhaps you should double-check your email set in your account; You 
should have received notification on the 8th. Admittedly, it's a pretty 
short notice, but the packages are always still there in VCS, ready for 
re-uploading.
