Good afternoon, I would be happy to add you. However my account is currently suspended. I am receiving a lot of this requests like yours for this and other packages I was maintaining. I am hoping I can now ask to unsuspend my account in other to contribute to this and many other packages. Sincerely, Gonçalo Pereira

My name is Matthew McGinn (gin078 in the AUR) and I work for the company that provides the etcher program. I am hoping you will allow me to co-maintain the etcher package with you, in order to keep it up to date.
Please let me know how that sounds to you!

Even if you were unsuspended, you wouldn't be the person handing out (co)maintainer status as you do not - and have not - owned any packages.

I doubt that this is true.

What kind of tactic is this supposed to be?

Request denied.
For the record, user gin078 - who the original mail was supposedly from - has since adopted etcher, as it was an orphan anyways. You weren't even the *previous* maintainer of the package, as haavard had been maintaining it for a while.

Correction: gpereira was comaintainer of etcher, and as haavard - the previous maintainer - orphaned etcher, the next comaintainer was promoted to maintainer - so you were indeed maintainer of the package for just under a week by mistake.
Anyways, that has been fixed.
The other points still hold.
Hello, I am honestly asking to be unsuspended I don't mean to fool anyone. I would like to ask you to be more reasonable. Regards Gonçalo Pereira
