My e-mail client had decided to stop checking for new mails in my Arch
Linux folder, so I wasn't getting (or rather, seeing) notifications.
Fixed now, and chatty has been updated.

You can add me as a co-maintainer and then step down, if you wish, that
should transfer the package to me. :)

Yep, indeed. Some dependencies do seem to have changed since the last
update though.

Maintainer used to be active on IRC, but I haven't seen them in a while.
I used to be the maintainer of lutris-git[1] before it got deleted on
request of the upstream developer[2]. I wouldn't mind picking up
maintenance again if it gets disowned.

Did you look inside the PKGBUILD? Seems like there's an e-mail listed on
the first line:
https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=lutris-git
(In fact, that e-mail has also gotten CC'd on this request.)

How/where did you try? I can't find any e-mails from you (or anyone else
on the mehl.mx domain) neither on the address used for the git commits
(the one I'm sending this mail from) or the one mentioned in the
"Maintainer" line of the PKGBUILD. I'm also pretty much online 100% of
the time on IRC (even if not currently in any Arch channels), and I'm
fairly sure I haven't received any `/query`/`/msg` from you.

Either way, the package is updated now as well as gotten some
improvements on top of that.

I'm pretty sure those are not the same though: AUR's "musicbrainz"
library uses the MusicBrainz Web Service (API) v1, while libmb5 is using
the WS v2. Programs depending on libmb will not work with libmb5 AFAIK.

That said, MB WS v1 is deprecated and will (finally!) be entirely
discontinued soon[1], so it may be a good idea to remove "musicbrainz"
(and possibly packages that depend on it) either now or on August 1st.

The maintainer has started actually cleaning up the PKGBUILD now, so I'm
happy to retract this request.

Just `git pull` the AUR git repository, make your changes/replace with
your own PKGBUILD, and `git push` it—as per the steps outlined here:

That's still up to 2 weeks where the -git package would be ahead of the
last release. (And there was recently more than a month between two
releases, after the 2 week release schedule had been "enacted".)

How much extra burden is this? I see two mentions of "lutris-git" at the
forums[1]. The latter of which, from March, only used the -git package
to test whether something had been fixed between "master" and the latest
release.
I haven't seen a lot of people saying "it's broken!~1!" on IRC.
I tried to look over GitHub issues mentioning "lutris-git", and the
couple I looked at also only used lutris-git to check whether a bug had
been fixed in git since the latest release (except for one[2]), and not
encountering the bug using -git first.

Based on the examples I found (and I admit I didn't go fully in depth),
it rather shows that it *was* helpful for users to be able to easily
switch to the latest -git to verify whether a bug was still present or
not, or to temporarily work around an issue that's been fixed since the
last release but hasn't been released proper yet.

(Also, is it better to get bug reports on "stable" releases where the
bug might be 2+ weeks old rather than within a couple of days of a
feature being introduced and the code still being in fresh memory? I
know that I have previously found bugs running from git that hadn't
otherwise been uncovered yet and might well have made it to the "stable"
release.)

By the reasoning given for this removal, the AUR should remove/disallow
almost all VCS packages.

1) No reply to my objection.
2) Less than 12 hours between request submitted and it being
   accepted/executed.
3) Requested and accepted by same TU.

Really?

Just because no packages are depending on it doesn't mean that the
package isn't being used.
