Please don't delete it. Upstream does not have any tagged release, and
AUR/primitive is a VCS package in disguise, which should be merged into
primitive-git (PRQ#66641) [1].
The '-git' pkgname suffix is mandatory. The package is now an orphan, which can
be adopted and modernized.

My idea was to get primitive-git deleted since:
- it's never been updated since its initial upload
- its PKGBUILD doesn't respect neither Go nor VCS packaging guidelines
(as a commenter noted in... 2019)
and then get primitive renamed into primitive-git. Would that be okay
with you? We're talking about a package whose upstream hasn't been
touched since 2020 and with a grand total of respectively 1 and 4 votes
for primitive-git and primitive, so I doubt it will be earth shattering
to too many users.
Of course if we can merge primitive into primitive-git while keeping the
PKGBUILD of the former (after it's hopefully fixed by its maintainer --
I posted a diff for it in its comments), all the better.
