Hi, I read all related mails, but neither replied to the mailing list, nor off-list until now. Now I'll add a single comment. The TU writing this reply https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-general/2018-October/034408.html is malignant manipulative. Instead of assuming good faith, he opens with smear, "s/respectfully/passive-aggressively/". Perhaps the one who wrote the application is mistaken regarding some things. If so, it's no reason to make mountains out of molehills, but this TU does. Claims such as "Most of those people" followed by a sniffy comment is agitation. This TU shouts. Shouting is against all mailing list netiquettes. It ends with a melodramatic closing... "I read this differently, you care so much that you don't trust anyone else to do it right. You're a control freak, and I don't want to have to deal with you on the team, no matter how capable you are as a programmer." ...containing "generosity": "Other TUs can make their own decisions of course." This is a pattern, it isn't the first time he behaves in this way. Regarding the disputes we had during the migration to systemd, the mailing lists were moderated for less than the trolling we experienced during the application thread by this TU. Apparently this TU has got special rights. That he could behave like this again and again does strengthen him to continue doing it. Regards, Ralf
