MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for mingw-w64-python [2]:

Broken since quite some time ago. No reverse dependencies.

(A comment by competent AUR maintainer @Martchus reported build
failure on 2022-07-01. A dependency has been deleted 6 months ago, in
Feb 2024.)

Was needed earlier by some mingw-w64 packages, but for the past 6
months it is no longer the case.

Some Windows cross-builds still use python as a makedepend, but that
is satisfied by Arch/core/python.

Last updated: 2021.
Popularity: 0.000000

If during the next years this becomes needed again, a competent
maintainer can quickly revive it and push an update. If not, I don't
think it benefits anyone to keep an unused, several-years broken
package.
