The [community] package is python-semantic-version. It was moved from
the AUR, and the AUR version was deleted at the time:

https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/log/PKGBUILD?h=python-semantic-version

This package was first uploaded half a year after the package with a "-"
instead of a "_" was first uploaded, however, the original version (not
yours) was simply migrated from AUR 3 to AUR 4 ("Initial import" four
days after the great migration began) so I'm not sure how long it
existed before that.

So your package was just a duplicate since its inception. Sorry. :(

It is manual, but you can see the list of duplicates using something
like this:

$ declare -f aurdupes
aurdupes ()
{
    comm -12 <(pacman -Sql core extra community multilib| sort) <(curl
-s https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.gz | gzip -d | sed 1d | sort )
}

Since the package names are different, they don't even register as
duplicates and you should be able to push to it just fine (which you
*cannot* do for a package in community, as it would be added to the
"this is in community" blacklist)
