Deleting packages from AUR

Hello,

yesterday I saw a package in AUR that was included in another one in extra (python-editra, an editor included in wxpython). Since I made this mistake myself some time ago, I told the maintainer about this. He agreed to remove it and asked me how to do so.

To my surprise it is impossible to do so for a normal user not being a TU. I read about this on aur-general, but I missed any announcement about this change. Was it announced somewhere?

I told him either to write to aur-general to ask for removal or to put the request on the aur cleanup day list. What is the preferred way to ask for removals?

I think we decided an email to aur-general was the best way.

Agree. BTW, I deleted it from AUR.
