You will need a GPG key to package. Arch has rules about applying and you are
openly not following them.
I’ll create a gpg key when/if I need, to sign the packages, if arch Linux votes for me.

I consider an application that does not meet the requirements and has had very
little effort put in to be a waste of time.
That’s true, and I guess I already have your -1 on the votes. Great meeting you :)
Besides not following rules, I help to maintain with patches upstream as a maintainer, co-maintainer or just a random person sending patches fixing bugs the following software set:
- kde plasma
- plasma firewall
- dolphin
- ark
- kde system settings
- Konsole
- qgroundcontrol
- konversation
- kio
- kde partition manager
- subsurface
- kde frameworks
- codevis
- kconfigxt
But in the end it’s the maintainers role to see if someone from upstream would be useful for arch as a packager, or if he just wants to waste more time of a non-paid position for no glory just for the sake of helping a distro he uses daily.
Best.
