Considering some recent issues regarding team behavior [1] in Arch, I'm going to have to ask on some of your previous interactions with the community, and open-source in general. I had two examples in particular, the MineTest community [2], and interaction with other Arch users on ArchWiki [3].

By definition, a TU has to interact with users of community packages (bug reports, emails, coordination with the rest of the Arch team, ...), and users of the AUR in general (AUR requests, peace-keeping, interactions with previous maintainers when promoting packages, ...). This means that if aggressive behavior such as the above is part of some general theme, there is a clear problematic.
Note that this is _not_ meant as a witch-hunt of any sort - nor do I have any kind of personal involvement here. I do however value healthy communication in the Arch community, and believe any TU candidate should value it as well.
I would also chip in with the following from early 2017: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/issues/1227 (I am also not in any sort of witch hunt, just thought this would be relevant.)
