Going through the bug reports, it seems that you have a keen eye and don't let bugs go unnoticed.
Thanks :)
That said, I am a little bothered by the amount of packages you do maintain currently in the aur which is only 6.
Since you do have such a small amount of packages, I will ask, what are your goals after you become a TU?
Fair enough. The main reason I maintain only those packages is that everything else I use from the AUR already has a maintainer. Becoming a TU would presumably allow me to adopt other people's packages and put them in community. Also, MythTV + plugins makes up 12 packages already. Anyway, I just saw your second email. With that vague list I wasn't talking about the AUR, but rather packages that could be adopted within the repos, like MythTV is at the moment. I'm not really sure what those are exactly (or if there are any), hence the lack of specifics. Here is a longer list of AUR packages that I could possibly pick up: bin32-skype (if policy allows) desmume fbsplash fbsplash-extras fbsplash-theme-arch-black fbsplash-themes-arch-banner gap-math* gnome-colors-icon-theme gnome-packagekit gummi lightning mediatomb[-svn] myththeme-blue-abstract* nautilus-makepkg* nspluginwrapper-debian nspluginwrapper-flash packagekit pacman-glib python-poppler I've starred the ones that aren't that popular, but are interesting to me personally. Also, I'm not ready to release PackageKit-related stuff quite yet, but I would hope that it would be reasonably popular when I make a proper announcement. Jonathan P.S. Thanks Allan
