Would it be possible to include sdl3-freerdp3 in the freerdp package?
Hello, I have been using the sdl-freerdp3 for a few months now (with the wayland driver), as it works better than the wlfreerdp3 client. Lately I've started to see messages saying sdl-freerdp3 (the SDL2 client) is now deprecated and we should switch over to the SDL3 client (sdl3-freerdp, or I guess sdl3-freerdp3). But it's not currently included in the package. What would be the best way to reach out to the package maintainer so this gets included? https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/freerdp/flag/ seems like the wrong place, registrations on the GitLab are closed because of SPAM, and I couldn't find an email for the package Maintainers. So I'm basically left with the general ML. Apologies if this is not the right place to ask about this.

There should be a top banner on GitLab that says: "Due to an influx of spam, we have had to temporarily disable account registrations. Please write an email to accountsupport@archlinux.org, with your desired username, if you want to get access. Sorry for the inconvenience." While self-registrations are indeed disabled, you can still ask for an account by sending a mail to accountsupport@archlinux.org. Creating an issue on GitLab [1] is definitely the right place for such suggestions / requests.
So I'm basically left with the general ML. Apologies if this is not the right place to ask about this.
