How to answer to deleten request / use mailing list

My aur package superslicer-stable (and some others) were flag for deletion.

So I have answer to the email which has inform me about this.
The mail was send to aur-requests@lists.archlinux.org , the co-maintainer and to the requester.
But it is not listed at the mail archive.
So no trusted aur user has ever seen my response. I have also send a mail to the general  aur mailing list, but it is also not listed at tthe  mailing archive.
The package was deleted without any option to tell a trusted aur user,  why the package should keep in the aur.
How I  can sand mails to the mailing list?

mail I have send to aur-requests@lists.archlinux.org for superslicer-stable :
```txt
This package ist not at community.
This is the stable version of supersilcer. community/superslicer is
only a prerelease.
Please keep this package.

Version of community/superslicer:
https://github.com/supermerill/SuperSli … e/2.4.58.2 (prerelease)

Verison of aur/superslicer-stable:
https://github.com/supermerill/SuperSli … /2.3.57.12
(stable)

```

mail I have send to aur-requests@lists.archlinux.org for superslicer-prerelease :
```txt
I would expect that community/superslicer ist only temporary a
prerelease, because they do not want to move aur/wxgtk3-dev-314-opt to
communtiy, witch ist still needed by the stabel version.

This also means this package will everytime be deleted if a stabel
verison is released and will be readded, if a new prerelease ist
avaible.
I do not think this is a good idea.

Furthemore this package is not exacty identical to
community/superslicer because it does use the alpha directory for the
configuartion, like the offical binary does it.
This avoid damage config and lost of hours of fine-tuning.

So please keep this package.

The deletion request would be https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/a … 73346.html ?

There have been cases where mails were blocked based on sender ip address or domain .
What domain (the part behind the @) are your emails send from ?

I have use @lukas1818.de. I own the whole domain and the mail-server is web hosted by netcup.
A friend of me have similarly problem with another Webhoster.

In the past I was able to answer to another request.

Registering with this mail at the aur, bugreport and forum has also worked.

Re: How to answer to deleten request / use mailing list

If you are having trouble using the lists, please contact mailman@lists.archlinux.org.

You can try mailing that address or other communication methods, like https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_IRC_channels .

Aside from the mail issue I took a quick peek at the request and the deleted pkgbuild .

In my opinion a name change (maybe to superslicer23 ) might be enough to resubmit it without fearing deletion , but it also needs some improvements.

If you do want to go that route, create a new thread and ask for review.

P.S.
keep in mind i'm just an aur user like you, the TUs that maintain aur may feel different .

P.P.S.
When aur packages are deleted the files/history are not removed from the aur repository.

In case you don't have the latest version anymore, use

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/superslicer-stable.git

to retrieve it.
