My main thinking in the past was to unify the tools used for the "official" and community repos. That either involved fixing the community/AUR integration to use the new official devtools or split community and the AUR completely. If we split them, then we (being devs and TUs) need to decide whether the community packages get shown on the main Arch package page or are kept separate. As Callan put it, a big change with lots of planning needed...
I also like the proposal a lot. community is already more or less an official repo, isn't it? it's enabled by default in pacman.conf on a fresh install. So I think it makes sense to have it next to the others repos. Then its name still indicates there is a difference on the packagers behind these packages.
