[arch-general] Is it possible to move Mumble to community repository?
Hello, Mumble [1] is an open source, low-latency, high quality voice chat software. It has a stable version package on AUR [2]. Would it be possible to have Mumble in [community]? Mumble is very popular application and it doesn't have any license issues [3]. It has 216 votes on AUR. Pkgstats reports 8.91 % usage [4]. Having Mumble in official repository would help users installing it and keeping it up-to-date.

With 8,91% usage, this would also be a candidate for extra. You just need to find someone willing to maintain it - I use mumble occasionally, but not on Linux. I am interested in murmurd though, so I'll think about it.

I would be willing to maintain it myself. But was it so that the maintainer in community or at least in extra must be a TU (or have a special status of some kind)? -- Ape <Lauri Niskanen>

The maintainer has to have ssh access to our repository servers, so yes, only TUs and Devs can do it.
