orphaned AUR package found

I have not been able to finish setting up my interface to the "Arch Linux"  ecosystem. This may be of interest:

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xbin … onfig-gtk2 :

" frostwork commented on 2025-01-31 18:08 (UTC): Oh, I haven't seen the package was orphaned. Thank you for taking over, @xiota! :)  "

https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/ … onfig-gtk2   :

"We continue to encourage all users of AUR packages to review all PKGBUILD and install script changes when updating, especially during this time. If you notice suspicious commits to a package that you use, please reach out to Arch staff via the aur-general mailing list with more information"

Re: orphaned AUR package found

What are you talking about?
While there're currently 14850 https://aur.archlinux.org/packages?submit=Orphans the linked package is maintained by xiota, https://aur.archlinux.org/packages?K=xiota&SeB=m

Also gtk2 is bitrot and should™ ideally not be part of anybodies ecosystem.

Re: orphaned AUR package found

"What are you talking about?"  I do not know, it looked strange. I believe xiota does not have a link on the username. I was just looking around trying to fix something and noticed xbindkeys_config-gtk2 

BTW  PKGBUILD for  xbindkeys_config-gtk2 :

# Maintainer: _____________________

is blank

Package Details: xbindkeys_config-gtk2 0.1.4-2  :

Maintainer:     xiota (Technetium1)

xiota does not have a link on the username

oops, noob....
