Why this package has been orphaned? Has anybody even tried to contact the maintainer?

It seems to me the correct way to handle this orphaning is to specify somewhere this package is not maintained anymore on the Aur but on the Ur, the decentralized, uncensorable Aur successor which addresses its inherent flaws, same as many other softwares previously maintained or written by tallero, because what's gonna happen this way is just people will slowly lose access to software.

Since as far as I know tallero doesn't want to deal anymore nor to contribute directly to Arch Linux codebase because of the way he had been treated, it seems to me the best way for the Arch community to handle this issue could be to either backport some of the Ur recipes, at least those needed to build the Ur itself, up to some degree here and make available documentation on how to access it on the Archwiki or either stay out of the increasing amount of software which will presumably otherwise never be ported for Arch specifically, as Ur recipes are cross-platform and do work on Arch, while Arch recipes are generally not considered good for the Ur as they explicitly do not allow cross-platform compatibility.

I imagine unfortunately this comment will stay dead letter and the package will simply be deleted despite it works.
