The question if the package will ever make it to community - most people won't have community-testing enabled. It's not very typical for new packages that weren't in the repositories before. My guess it was because an alpha version was packaged, which shouldn't have been packaged in the repos in the first place.

I'm the packager for pijul (in community).
There's a decent chunk of packages in community that have alpha/beta releases so I assumed it was OK. Apologies if this is not the case.
e.g. a notable one that I'm aware of is qt5-webkit which unfortunately is not very well maintained by Qt and the alpha by annulen provides life support with e.g. various needed security fixes.
runc, which the entire container ecosystem has been depending on the past 7 years, got it's first stable release last week after almost 100 release candidates :) -- Morten Linderud PGP: 9C02FF419FECBE16
