Every member of Arch Linux is a volunteer. Anki is one of these packages
that is not packager-friendly. Since the last time it was packages, it
has removed Makefiles entirely and now uses Bazel.

Repology[0] says that only repositories that distribute the latest
version (2.1.44) use the pre-built binary, which isn't what Arch is
about.

If you really want to see the latest version in the community
repository, we are always receptive to patches via email.

The bug tracker is for bugs, not for out of date packages.
