MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for gnome-encfs-hg [2]:

Project has recently been marked by developer as unmaintained. Main
development has ceased 7 years ago. AUR package has not been updated
since 2015. Source link is dead since 2019, but no one updated it.
Depends on obsolete Python 2. It's not reliable to use outdated
encryption tools. This is not a GNOME project anyway, was only an
integration solution to automount EncFS folders that are encrypted
using a password that is different than the user's login password.
Such encrypted folders are still recoverable with EncFS, this obsolete
tool is not required for that. It's unbuildable because of deleted
Python2-based dependencies. Safe to delete, no impact, nothing relies
on it on AUR.
