xiota [1] filed an orphan request for sunshine [2]:

This package should be orphaned because both maintainers are unwilling
to fix it.  Fixing packages that provide stable releases by patching
or cherry-picking is common, acceptable practice.

The fix, provided by a user several days ago, requires adding a single
line to prepare() in the PKGBUILD.  Doing so would take only a few
minutes to copy/paste and commit.

After one maintainer refused to fix the package, a request to
reconsider was made.  The other maintainer affirmed the decision.

At least one maintainer is the upstream developer and has threatened,
"I promise I will stop supporting ArchLinux altogether".  I fail to
see how insisting on keeping the package in a broken state is
supporting Arch.
