After becoming a TU, I'd like to look into promoting a couple of packages from the AUR over time, including but not limited to `rutorrent`, `psensor`, `glava` (currently `glava-git`, waiting for tagged releases), `gtkhash`, `streem`, & `polybar` - assuming that no issues preventing the packaging (& inclusion in the repos) turn up and the popularity/votes are high enough to warrant inclusion.
I might be wrong, but dont we require to have at least 10 votes on AUR to move a package to [community]? In this case none of your packges has more than 6 votes at the time of writing this. There is also a rule about >=1% popularity on pkgstats, but it seems every package has at least 1%? Or does this TU application count as a proposol on which 3 TUs must aggree?
Okay? rutorrent -- 126 votes psensor -- 89 votes gtkhash -- 49 votes polybar -- 87 votes Yes, streem has only 1 vote, while glava-git has only 6 + no actual stable releases... but it was also only recently uploaded and that might easily change, besides which coderobe did say "and the popularity/votes are high enough to warrant inclusion." We will most likely not be blitzed by a series of unpopular fringe-use packages. :p

It sort of feels like you are incredibly focused on the packages that he has stated a desire to see in [community], which intersect with the packages which he personally maintains, to the exclusion of the rest...
Are those rules even up to date? This is somehow offtopic, the TU application just made me wonder about it. To me it looks like those rules are outdated and in the end everyone can move whatever they want to [community].

But yeah, those rules are guidelines. They're not generally policed, for one, and probably no one can tell afterwards anyway because once the package is cleaned up from the AUR we can't really see how many votes it had. But really, the idea is to generally avoid filling the repos with packages no one other than the TU who uploaded it is actually interested in... and votes are a rough guide as to whether that is likely. -- Eli Schwartz Bug Wrangler and Trusted User
