Without an account you can’t check, but the "kyralemarec" account is
inactive, which in this context means they’re banned. The package is
clean because I force-pushed a git reset to it, and that’s why I’m
listed as "Last Packager"

See this [1] recent post from Claudia for more details.

We don’t create accounts manually at the moment, sorry.

We’re not too fond of auto-updating setups like this, at least it tries
to build.

And from a quick look at the PKGBUILD I noticed you have the package
name in pkgdesc. From `man PKGBUILD`:
Try to keep the description to one line of text and to not use the
package’s name.
