MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for cherrytree-bin [2]:

This is a badly maintained package.

Earler, owner updated it to 1.0.0 without adjusting the dependencies
accordingly.

I left a detailed feedback in a comment, listing all the needed
changes, backing it up with the output of a namcap analysis.

Then, instead of fixing the dependencies, owner just downgraded the
package to 0.99.37 without bumping the epoch.

In addition, owner chose to make the PKGBUILD extract the tarball
directly into the $pkgdir, keeping the upstream files' ownership and
access attributes.

I don't think it is useful to keep this on AUR.
Arch maintainers competently take care of the package for this in
extra repo, which is on the latest upstream version (not even 1.0.0
but 1.0.1 as of now, released on August 25th, 2023). [a]
