MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-pyqt5-pre-release
[2]:

Upstream PyQt5 is in minimal maintenance mode, and will likely soon be
completely EOL.

Meanwhile it is not useful to have this package on AUR, especially
because it is not actively maintained here. (ATM it is OOD but no one
even flagged it as such.)

There will absolutely be zero API changes in PyQt5, so outside of a
few Qt developers and a maybe some Desktop Environment / Linux
distribution maintainers / CI engineers, no one else can see any
benefit in installing a prerelease of this deprecated package, even if
the PKGBUILD itself were always up-to-date.
And even those mentioned people would need the devel release only in
their CI environment and not as a locally installed Arch Linux
package.
