MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for telegram-history-dump-git
[2]:

Dead, discontinued utility from 2016.

Relies on the 2-years EOL telegram-cli (telegram-cli-git), which no
longer supports Telegram's current API's (cannot even log in to the
network services).

Online login was necessary for this tool, as Telegram stores local
history encrypted, and also typically it does not keep 100% of history
in its cache, especially if the history goes back for many months and
years.

Actually this utility's function is not even needed anymore. Current
Telegram Desktop client does have its built-in history exporter, which
"dumps" the full history with rich text converted to HTML, and it can
include all shared multimedia content if the user chooses so.

Deleting this package would allow the other dead, EOL components to be
dropped from AUR as well.
