Each AUR user should be able to have its own fork of a perticular AUR package with a URL like this: http://aur.archlinux.org/account/john/packages/xyz.git. I'm actually not sure this is such a great idea. It seems like that may lead to a ton of forks of a package for stylistic choice alone. I'm not sure what could serve as a good alternative. 3. The official Git HEAD for a AUR package is actually just a Git reference to maintainer's fork's HEAD, we just need to change this Git reference if the maintainer changes. Each fork of a package should have its of votes which could be used to determine the maintainer for the official AUR package. And the on the official AUR package's PAGE, all the forks and their votes should be listed for the user to choose. This is a fine idea, but the TUs should still have full control when

This way, the job to maintain AUR will be more community driven, and the burden for TUs will be much less. That sounds fine in theory, but the TUs are tasked with maintaining the ALUR, so this change (though it will make things more community-oriented) shouldn't hinder their ability to do so.
Overall, I'd love to have the ALUR moved to be much more integrated with Git (I think this recommendation may have actually been drawn from one I made in the BBS thread) since it would make so many things so much simpler. -- All the best, Sam Stuewe (HalosGhost)
