brave [1] filed a deletion request for brave-origin-bin [2]:

Our request for deletion has been rejected with "Invalid reason", with
no further comments.

We gave the same reason when requesting the deletion of brave-origin-
nightly-bin when the same thing happened and it was granted without
issue.

The author of brave-origin-bin says themselves "I agree with deletion"
(https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/brave-origin-bin#comment-1073895).

Brave Origin is not officially released yet - it goes live tomorrow.
The binaries became available on GitHub only a few hours ago, so there
should be no relevant impact from deleting the package as it is now.

We want to provide official packages maintained by us, the authors of
the software being packaged. This is in the best interest of AUR users
and consistent with all the other Brave Browser and Brave Origin
packages present in AUR right now.

Furthermore, once all 6 packages are published, we intend to unify
them, as there are differences (functional and non-functional) that
shouldn't be there. We won't be able to do that if we're not in
control of all the packages.

Can we please delete the current brave-origin-bin package, as agreed
to by the current maintainer?
