Some small additions: As Eli mentioned, nothing is deleted. The read-only git access for amavisd-new can be found here: git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/amavisd-new.git
Also, these deleted AUR packages can be restored through SSH, i.e.: ssh [email protected] restore <name> which will reverse the deletion, preserving the git history.
