You should open an issue for the cowsay package on arch gitlab.

How do I get an unpopular package that's needed by an existing package to extra?

Ey,

A while ago I made the AUR package perl-acme-cow, which is needed for some 
cowfiles bundled with cowsay. Is there a process for dependencies to enter 
extra? I understand that it's not popular and doesn't meet the requirement, but 
without it, attempting to use certain bundled cowfiles results in an error.

Cheers,
