Additionally the arch of this package isn't any as it contains a compiled library: 

newm-next-git E: ELF file ('usr/lib/python3.13/site-packages/pywm/_pywm.so') found in an 'any' package.

So the arch should be changed to at least x86_64.

This is versioned in an unusual way for -git packages. The following patch fixes this issue by setting the pkgver variable in a standard way for this type of package. This may also fix the minor annoyance that some AUR helpers will repeatedly reinstall this package every time they are used to upgrade the system (which was why I noticed this issue in the first place).

L0Wigh, apologies for the ghost notification earlier today. I accidentally posted this comment before I had finished it.
