So... I just noticed a package was added to [community] that I am certain did not pass any of the criteria required for being added.
When I looked in the AUR for that package less than a week ago as a potential replacement for an old and unmaintained package in [core], it was not even in the AUR... and I can find no evidence for it every being added to the AUR in the time since. So it did not have 10 votes, it definitely would not have 1% pkgstats usage.
Are you talking about mailutils? It has been in [community] for over a year.
Oops... how the hell did I miss that when I searched a week ago!
Anyway, that was not the only package I was talking about, as I have seen quite a few new packages entering the repo lately which have been questionable additions. So it was more of a reminder to people to put a bit of thought into what is added into the repos.
