IMO votes are no more needed on packages in repostories, neither any dividing into categories usig tags. Looking forward to the new order :)
Jaro one user's question:
if there is no voting on packages in [community], then what mechanism exists for users to suggest/cheer on a package's promotion to [extra]?
-kludge
One users answer:
Maybe the same mechanism that would move packages out of extra to unsupported or community? Its called pkgstats. pacman -S pkgstats and then exec pkgstats as root IIRC.

accepted. for what it's worth, pkstats seems too "passive" an interaction to me. i feel more involved in any system when i can make active decision about what goes where (even if it's just one voice in the wilderness saying, "hey, wouldn't this be cool?!?"). hence why i run arch. then again, i have no hands-on experience managing packages, so my opinion is entirely from the user-side. maybe it's just my humanities degree showing :) -kludge p.s.: greg, i thought you left!
