MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for clutter-gst-git [2]:

Orphaned VCS package last updated in 2015. Source got archived (made
read-only) by GNOME project. Clutter has been retired entirely:

https://blogs.gnome.org/clutter/2022/02/16/retiring-clutter/

Therefore there is no further need for this abandoned -git VCS
package.

Arch still carries the latest stable clutter-gst:
https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/clutter-gst/

And I trust they will continue to do so while any other package
depends on it. And if in the future they drop it, they will check AUR
if any package still need it, and if so, they will drop it to AUR as
stable package so AUR consumers can still rely on it.
