Well, it's really simple. As autofs already have 10 votes, you just need to apply to become a TU and you will be able to move it to [community] and maintain it
This is not so simple. If i wanna be a TU, this need a long time before to be enough famous in arch community to make an application.
I think Cédric's suggestion isn't daft at all. TUs really should be people who have a good experience of using Arch Linux and have the neccesary skills to build and maintain packages. It's not at all about being famous, IMO. (I hardly think I was, nor am I now!)
Seriously, if you or anyone else is interested in there being certain packages in [community] (and they fulfill the requirements) and you have the skills, please do apply :-)
We said a while back, I think, that we'd rather have more TUs maintaining reasonable numbers of packages, and packages that they use, than a small number of TUs with too much on their plates.

Currently I am the system administrator of about 150 linux pc in students pc pool. So I think the skill isn't the problem, because we use packages from aur and wo had to creat own packages as well. But I don't think I can get an TU overnight :-) By the way: We used Ubuntu before but that distro killed it self, with its preinstalled networkmanager, which you can't easily remove (mount depence on networkmanger by some way). But back to topic: it isn't funny to use a not real officially autofs package on our university network. What was or is the problem, that no TU want's to maintain these package? May be I can help here? Greez Michael
