Hello,
DDNet is a very fun sidescrolling game, similar to Teeworlds (DDNet is actually a mod of Teeworlds). Since Teeworlds's development is very slow and DDNet's development is very active, a lot of players migrated to DDNet, which allows to play both gametypes of Teeworlds and many others of DDNet.
Here is a fan-made trailer of DDNet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwyk4hPZM1g
Archwiki page: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DDNet
This package is very easy to maintain, all dependencies are in official repos, and most of its updates represent changes only in pkgver and checksums. I'd be glad to see this package in community, if possible, in order to reach users that avoid AUR.
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ddnet/
Other related packages to consider: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ddnet-maps-git/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ddnet-skins/
Is there a TU that would like to adopt it and move it to community repo?
Feel free to ask me more info.
Best regards, Rafael Fontenelle

It has 5 votes on AUR, so it doesn't look very popular on Arch. Typical guideline is at least 10 before uploading something to [community].

Well, there is a git package as well, and between the two there are ten voters. Many people don't vote for both the git package and the main package, but would likely use the main package if it was in the repos.
That being said, none of this matters unless there is a TU either interested enough to maintain it already (which hasn't happened?) or interested in maintaining packages they don't use.
So, it would probably be best for Rafael to poke svenstaro directly as he maintains a lot of gaming packages, including "teeworlds".

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought it is a soft requirement (i.e. could be ignored by the TU, if he/she wants to adopt it), reason why I sent this email. But Eli Schwartz got a point: with -git package's vote it has more than 10 :-)

archlinuxcn actually carries it. Not sure if that is enough.
archlinuxcn is an unofficial repository. I'd prefer it to go to community as it is an official repository, to be also accessible for those who use official repositories only.

Good idea. I sent and I'm waiting for a reply. Still, my request is open to any TU that wants it.

In the case of less than 10 votes it has to be sent to this mailing list, _and_ be approved by three other TUs.

Whether this always happens in practice is a different question, since the above article is part of the ArchWiki and not the TU Bylaws. I like to think people follow this practice where they can anyway.
I'd say counting -git packages for the votes is a bit of a stretch, but for those prefer doing so, be my guest.
