Hi,
Actually this is a package you co-maintain, any other packages you have maintained in the AUR? [1]
It's hard get a feel about your packaging history without any examples to look at. It's a valid question, and my response would be that I don't think my AUR-packaging experience is my super power yet (or at least nothing to brag about). If anything it's my involvement with developing Arch Linux tooling,

I have a deep rooted willingness to learn if given the opportunity and I've seen the need and calling from people to help with orphaned packages and every now and then packages pop up that I use, love and would love to help out carry on the packaging of - but can't due to my current role. I see this as an opportunity to gently ease my way into it while still being very familiar with the Arch echo system and how a lot of the packages are packaged in general terms. I honestly also don't have many packages that I would need to put into AUR that I feel others would want or need. As a person I'm a very "hands-on" person. I need practical reasons and examples for doings things - so co-maintaining packages would be the best way for me to learn and gradually shoulder more and more responsibilities. And I hope my involvement in packaging[11] and distributing archinstall releases[12] for the last 2 years (anniversary[13] coming up in the 1:st of April this year) would count for something. Not trying to apply or win sympathy points, but it has been a lot of work and I hope it counts for something. I will mention that I have packaged a few personal projects on AUR >5 years ago: * slimDHCP[14] (Was in AUR ~2018, but quality of the PKGBUILD was not the best) * slimDNS[15] (Also in AUR, a bit older than slimDHCP) * slimSMTP[16] (same here) I think I had a few more but they've been deleted since long ago. Again, they're by no means production worthy examples and quite outdated frankly and I learned a lot back then and since.
