The URL leads to a 404 page. You're including the dot at the end in it.
As for your question, it has something to do with the PKGBUILD file. Edit it to fix the error and then build it locally with pacman.
If you are talking about wanting to maintain the AUR package, make an orphanage request and assign yourself as the maintainer.
Looks like it's even being actively maintained though.
I'm probably just being impatient. I'll do the local build thing with pacman for now, but my curiosity is pushing me to consider the orphan request option. I'll give it a couple more weeks though.
On the couple of AUR packages I ~~maintain~~ neglect I have been approached via email to add people as co-maintainers. I don't always have the time to keep the packages up to date so I was happy to let someone else help out.
Might be something worth looking into rather than an orphan request.
