[Slackbuilds-users] The name of buf SlackBuild

I maintain dart-sass. The developer decided to stop providing 32 bit 
binaries starting with the most recent version at the moment of writing, 
therefore I had to switch to building that package from source. One of 
the two dependencies is buf. I wrote a SlackBuild which builds buf and 
only then checked SBo to find that buf is already there. However, the 
script on SBo repackages a pre-built binary, and the only one available 
is for 64 bit systems, which defeats the purpose of me rewriting the 
script for dart-sass to support 32 bit Slackware.

The problem is once again the naming conventions. The current buf should 
be called buf-bin instead so I could submit my script which builds buf 
from source. What should I do?
