[aur-general] Which developer should be considered as TU?
Hi, The Trusted Users list is a bit different between Archweb and AUR. It looks like it's unclear which developer is a TU also. This means that we don't know how many active TUs are there, therefore can't ensure that the quorum meets on each votes. There are four categories: 1. The following developers are listed on Arch Linux Trusted Users page[1], and their account type is 'Trusted User' in AUR: - Bartłomiej Piotrowski (Barthalion) - Evangelos Foutras (foutrelis) - Laurent Carlier (lordheavy) - Sven-Hendrik Haase (svenstaro) - Thomas Dziedzic (td123) 2. The following developers are listed on Arch Linux Trusted Users page[1], but their account type is 'Developer' in AUR: - Dave Reisner (falconindy) - Florian Pritz (Bluewind) - Jan Steffens (heftig) - Ray Rashif (schivmeister) 3. The following developers are not listed on Arch Linux Trusted Users page[1], but their account type is 'Trusted User' in AUR: - Ángel Velásquez (angvp) - Gerardo Pozzi (djgera) 4. The following developer is not listed on Arch Linux Trusted Users page[1], and his account type is 'Developer' in AUR, but still takes part in votes: - Ronald van Haren (pressh) According to Trusted User Bylaws, TUs (and only TUs) must take part in votes. Therefore there should be a clear implementation like this: - Developers who want to take part in votes should set their account type to 'Trusted User' (or to a new 'Developer+Trusted User' type) in AUR, and they should be added to the Arch Linux Trusted Users page[1]. - Developers who don't want to take part in votes should set their account type to 'Developer' in AUR, and they should be removed from the Arch Linux Trusted Users page[1]. - Users with 'Developers' account type in AUR should not be allowed to vote.

Just in case you didn't notice: The latest AUR release has a feature that automatically tells you whether the quorum has been reached or not.

What is your opinion?
Agreed. I will submit a patch to exclude developers from TU votes soon (not that I mistrust developers -- it just seems like the right thing to do).

I hope that patch also creates a "TU+dev" group because I consider myself to be both and I'd love to be able to keep voting.
