That is incorrect. There are policies: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_User_Guidelines#Submitting_packages
- Make sure the package is useful. Will anyone else want to use this package? Is it extremely specialized? If more than a few people would find this package useful, it is appropriate for submission.
- The AUR and official repositories are intended for packages which install generally software and software-related content, including one or more of the following: executable(s); config file(s); online or offline documentation for specific software or the Arch Linux distribution as a whole; media intended to be used directly by software.
Those are by no means policies! Unlike [1], the page is freely editable, and can contain pretty much anything. [1]: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Packaging_Standards
