I agree, and I have already fixed it. BUT, that is NOT what I am asking!! What I am REALLY asking here is why did you simply remove the package!! You can leave a comment (which you did 1min before you go right to the incorrect last step), flag it out-of-date, send me a email, or even disown it and correct it yourself according to the AUR two-week policy if I refuse to update. Is it what you think a TU should do to remove (without waiting for the shortest reasonable response time or even attempting to improve) all non-standard/old PKGBUILD on AUR. It is fine if you have just removed it by accident (although I will probably suggest to move the remove button and the flag-out-of-date button farther away for TU if that's the case), but if you were doing that on purpose, what you did is totally non-constructive. This is definitely NOT what a TU should do. Let me remind you what a TU should do is "check PKGBUILDs for minor mistakes, suggest corrections and improvements"[1], I am not sure which of the three does "removing package right away" belong to.
