Excerpts from Martin Rys's message of julho 24, 2025 12:26 pm:
Hi,
my name's Martin, you can more often find me under "C0rn3j". Professionally, I work as a DevOps, and in my free time I do things I've most recently stumbled upon, which usually has to do with FOSS.
I've been using Arch for about a decade, I mostly hang out in the unofficial Telegram group*, which I help moderate.
I sometimes contribute to the Wiki, send patches over GitLab when relevant, or otherwise participate in discussions if I happen to see anything I can add my two cents to.
I've been maintaining a random assortment of things in the AUR, a lot of the times simply because I was using a package that the previous maintainer disowned, and I figured I might pick up the torch.
Which brings me to why I want to become a PM - I would like to see some of the things I currently maintain in the official repositories, such as sc-controller** or Tauon**, and to help out with the maintenance in general.
I use ALARM on some of my devices too, so I'd possibly like to help out with the porting efforts to Arch in the future, when that becomes relevant.
I've attached links to my accounts and also my personal site below.
My sponsors are Gian (grazzolini) and Tomaz Canabrava. Special thanks goes out to Muflone for additional packaging feedback.
I think that covers everything necessary, have a good day and I hope you'll consider my application!

Hi All,
I was away from my GPG key during the weeked, so I couldn't send the signed email before. I have been bugging Martin to join the staff as a package maintainer for years now.
Not only he has been super helpful to a lot of Arch users, but he opens a ton of issues and contribute to a lot of projects. One being pipewire, for example. I confirm my sponsorship.
Regards, Giancarlo Razzolini
Hi Giancarlo, great to see you on the ML! Hope to see you at the summit in autumn! There has been some critique in this thread about the current state of Martin's AUR packages. Thomas wrote:
But, sincerely I believe that it's more important that someone is willing to do the work for love, even if the work is not 100% yet. The 100% part can be achieved in time, that's why we have the trial period as Junior.
What role would you like to play during the trial period of Martin? Best regards, Frederik
