An exception to the standard removal procedure is made if a TU has not done ANY of the following for a period of at least 2 months:
1. added, removed or updated a package in +[community]+ or the AUR
2. performed any action that required TU privileges on the AUR
3. posted a message to aur-general
In this special case, SVP is followed by a discussion period of three days, a quorum of 66%, and a voting period of 5 days.
66% of the total, or of those that voted? I also think a minimum amount of votes should be mentioned here (much like for TU applications).
The quorum *is* the minimum amount of votes required.
The first point is verifiable for all cases except AUR package removal. The second point is verifiable in the case of votes but not for moderation actions such as merges and deletions of other packages. This could possibly be changed in the AUR backend. The third is obviously verifiable.
Shouldn't TUs send an email to aur-general when a package is deleted? I though that was the case, and that's why we include package names in links; so that archival of this sort of data is kept in the list; for posterity's sake. That would mean the removal of packages is covered by (3).
Nope, they don't have to. If a TU moves a package to [community] or discovers a completely broken package, he usually just removes it without notifying aur-general.
