Reading the wiki, I got the impression that AUR packages with more than 10 votes would be considered worthy enough to move to the Community repo. I understand that the ones with thousands of votes haven't moved due to licence type issues or binary requirements (e.g. spotify, minecraft, teamviewer, acrobat reader)... but something as simple as Archey https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/archey/ currently has 415 votes, and is used my many people for inclusions on screenshots etc (I found it by searching for it, after seeing it on the forums!) - that kind of thing I would have expected would be a "no-brainer" to be moved across into Community.
I count roughly 9100 packages in the AUR with more than 10 votes! Is it a lack of TUs having time to maintain more than they currently do that's holding back many of them? (that's not meant as a criticism of the TUs; being understaffed is a valid explanation)
Either way, perhaps the Wiki should be changed to say 1000 votes instead :D
Generally, if there's no TU willing to maintain a package, that package won't be included in the repos, no matter how many votes it has. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJTgwh8AAoJEB1x37R9kdwn4CIP/RiQkgOAPTqFzQsT1adGOqJo vFq4eIAXHcLzA0jmCbgkCyGdLdbOqmuks8E7MFPgoXFa6cgtLlZvrF1U7/fsdqHF ZpgB47q9jByIm+WUhmV4ypnzKBIevUe83qLR/VKkDR+0pxKr4PsrV00x1jra3/Fv 7gblzE6LWwZZ12kXgqs6fDEc5cayEEniNmfldAeNm+7hSB5kqQjDGkvie6W5BBZ/ D8vLc2eO1CZIzBPMQs1kuKZFIO4HttvrP5UcCTzPi7XJ/hqHqL3ELLz0BGTZEXnx sWFlFVt6cioc0ZK1QJmP9fv+rWoSU4qxXfGP5zw9yNUEosn/VVv/897bLmthskYk /XAm/ImS7YvBq4RnIAUT9BD17psnIAp+bDmnIghEegSfLSEeD7R9mc3AZpz8xAF4 o01uDVCNirfuFx2GL5vPf3s8MlH4ue3TXmm1ZdZaxbFijnTHVfC68OhNBHEfE51U Lg5o1XX3Btkm/lWmmTj0yhnYfGSxJ2Ebu3ECEnAXZosjco4Mhc8FWFo1p/s4j+Gy bqHf5QErWK6bsMfSRyZBCNGY6PvAqVZkjHwshsLSURiymBroeAgg06C6FHNhv4CB I5n8TsvTEWi7igG3rANZ+BdznlFVGm3D115Xyb5X5PkvuSJlKiqgveSTzacRskeG txMj/z5u46LnmmEvkGMK =sRc5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
