I have just finished moving netcfg from the AUR to [community] and I think I will eventually have to write patches to keep it working. This could be done in a separate repo but I see no need for a fork. There has never been any debate about what to include in netcfg and even though the user base is pretty small now, it is still primarily on Arch. A few immediate changes will be getting rid of backticks, "sbin" and other cosmetic things. I will also go through the netcfg bugs that were closed and fix the ones that are reasonable. In the long term, I suspect most of my activities will be following the netctl commits and keeping netcfg as similar as possible without defeating the purpose. Mattias, the maintainer of the AUR package, has some ideas so I have encouraged him to apply for git access as well.
