Hi Tomaz. When there are established, documented guidelines for how to do
something in Arch Linux, they need to be followed. With no regard for how
the application process works, with no Arch packaging experience at all,
and with an attitude like this...
Don't misunderstand practicality with attitude, I have no intention of being a pain or "that dude", you can read the rest of the e-mails I send or focus on the nitpicks, that's a choice anyone has.

...I'm not sure what kind of result you're expecting.
I was expecting an e-mail such as the one sent by Carsten Haitzler, not the one sent by Mr. Steel.
When we are too strict about rules - without stating the reasons behind those rules, we will drive good people away. Mr. Steel didn't bother to search about the things I did or who I was nor did he wanted anything to know about myself or why I wanted to join Archlinux, his e-mail was basically a box-ticking-procedure-checking.
That's not just how people should behave within communities, as different people behave differently and it's way more important to have an human-factor when dealing with people.
You started off your application without any interest in doing things the
way they're always done here
... That's correct. It's not because they are aways done that they should still be done that way, and yes, I have send an e-mail from my mobile phone without signing it from GPG.
At the same time, every e-mail that I got here - even from people with the GPG key on their signature, was unsigned.
and then refused to fix that behavior when
corrected.
... That's not correct. I refused to do that *with* the reply from Mr. Steel, because I am not a robot that will do things from a list ticking all of the boxes, However, to the answer from Mr. Carsten I changed the attitude as appropriate, as he took the human approach.
Consider it a -2 now.
"Great meeting you :)"
Ignoring all the attitude on the e-mail can be hard, and you are answering the e-mail with the exact same attitude as I replied to Mr. Steel.
Still, Read the rest of the thread.
