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." I am assuming the popularity of these packages is going to rise. The newcomer glava-git alone got most of its popularity last week iirc, and i'm expecting more over the next couple as development continues & awareness increases. I definitely don't plan to publish unused/unpopular

We will most likely not be blitzed by a series of unpopular fringe-use packages. :p
In this case none of your packges has more than 6 votes at the time of writing this. 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...
Right. I don't plan to promote any of my AUR packages without reason. Regards, Rob
