MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-stscitools [2]:
I suggest to delete this deprecated Python 2 package from 2017.
It has no consumers on AUR.
Since 2019, a huge number of astronomy and cosmology projects moved
exclusively to Python 3, and now the Python 2 modules are incompatible
with the foundational binary libraries like HDF5.
Therefore the Python 2 ecosystem for these packages are virtually
nonexistent now.
It is beneficial to eliminate the unused packages from here, to help
volunteers focus their efforts on where it is actually making a
difference.
