Trying to release electron-1.3.4-1, I issued /community/db-update on repos.archlinux.org but I get:

repeating. Is there something wrong with the db?

sourceballs, ftpdir-cleanup and one dev's db-update apparently managed to get into a deadlock situation. I've killed some processes and removed a couple of stale locks. You should be able to run db-update again now. PS: I've whitelisted you on arch-dev-public since I forgot that when you became a TU. Also arch-dev-public or arch-devops are better places for such problems than arch-general. I generally don't look at mails on arch-general as often. Florian
