I hope I did not derail this too much, your packages look good, and your github account is very impressive! It looks like you have the motivation and the competency to help maintain and uphold the Arch way .
Thanks!

Massimiliano, I saw you have some ruby packages in your github repo, but you did not mention ruby as a language you have skills in. I think we lack someone with that skill.
My experience with ruby so far has been more from the side of a sysadmin. As a developer I have basic knowledge of the language to understand what's going on, and even to patch code when there is need for it. I would dare to say that I have basic knowledge of most of the more popular languages, except for functional programming which I really can't get myself to like at all.
That's more than I can tell from me.
I maintain pngcrush in AUR and thought myself to bring it to [community]. The main reason for not doing so was that we have optipng there, which does entirely the same as pngcrush.
I didn't know about optipng, I will check into it, and since there is already a TU behind pngcrush I will probably leave it out of the list then.
If you become a TU feel free to decide differently than I did. My remark was merely meant as a question to the other TUs what to do in such a case.

I don't see anything wrong with having officially maintained alternatives unless one of them is vastly superior to the other or even an official successor.
