eschwartz [1] filed a deletion request for deathnote [2]:

Violates the "usefulness" criteria of
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_submission_guidelines#Rules_of_submission

This is a vanity project written by the uploader with sources uploaded
directly to the AUR. Its purpose is to run:

pkill -9 -u $(whoami)

As such, it also constitutes malware.

It is also the same as the "deathnote-git" package which has a
corresponding deletion request, and additionally, it was uploaded
*after* my warning in
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1908348#p1908348 about the
"deathnote-git" package being a rules violation.
