The main reason why a asked for it is amount of crap in AUR. I have my own repo, maybe that's why i'm not interested in [community]. But AUR have huge list of orphaned, outdated, obsolette packages. Most of them can be deleted, since they have no use now. I see them nearly everyday, and... Well, i think you catch that. AUR needs moderators. AUR must be clean. Sorry for my bad english =(
In my opinion, the requested changes for AUR reported here are done very quickly, isn't it? And no special rights for AUR are needed to check the submitted packages. I see a lot of complexity, but I'm not sure for what added values. What should be the tasks for the AUR moderators? I can think of: - check submitted/changed PKGBUILDs (no special rights needed) - orphan/remove packages (IMO done quickly by TU's) - manage AUR accounts (same as above ...) - ?
