Make `pywlroots` package optional for X11 users (`qtile-git` AUR)

See original GitHub issue

Currently I can’t install Qtile from the AUR, because my (up to date) Manjaro stable install does not have the newest pywlroots version that is required. From my understanding, wlroots and pywlroots is only needed for Wayland, right? As a X11 user, I would not need it anyway and it just prevents me from installing (newest) Qtile.

Is it possible to mark the pywlroots as optional package? Unless off course I misunderstand this somehow. I do the request here, because the qtile-git AUR package is maintained by one of the developers here.
