I'm not TU anymore, but IIRC discussion is open to anyone.
Didnt know that, so i might as well jump in too. :)
Sergej is doing a huge work maintaining >600 packages in [community], and
honestly I don't know how he can handle them. Sometimes I think he is a bot
running on a russian server (the lack of communication in the ml confirms this
theory).
From my experience, Sergej is maintaining the packages very well, updates them
regularly when they're out date or someone posts a worthwhile suggestion about them
and unlike wizzo said he doesnt just move the PKGBUILD from unsupported but he
also changes the build function if he finds that nessecery. I clearly remember that
when he grabbed my dwm PKGBUILD to community for example.
My only abjection about his packages is that probably some/many are not used that much
to be in community. The same thing happened until lately with developers moving thing
in extra too. Now they are supposed to ask before moving them. Maybe a similar approach
is needed for TU's too?
The main complaints I have with his packages are the lack of the Maintainer tag,
really annoying because I have to look in the web interface of the AUR to know
who's maintaining a package (or look in CVS logs) and most of them doesn't have
a valid license field.
