MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for avahi-git [2]:

Abandoned, long-broken, unmaintained VCS package from 2020. (Still has
dependency on Python2 modules.)

It doesn't actually make sense to keep this in AUR, for the reason as
follows.

Upstream hasn't released any new versions since 2020, but there are
regular maintenance and improvement commits on the git master branch.
Because of that, Arch extra repo avahi package maintainers regularly
update that PKGBUILD to catch up with the git master.

Therefore the repo package is very much like a git build - one that
gets refreshed with reasonable cadence.

So even if this AUR package got a new maintainer who invested their
time and effort to fixing it, most of the time the built package would
contain exactly the same code as repo's avahi.
