You take the wrong conclusions. Im not saying he may not be suitable to do the job but I'm saying there is a difference between a random AUR packager and one that packages for our repositories. The path in getting the tiny differences in experience and best packaging practices should be led by the sponsor by discussing packages he/she maintains. This way the sponsor can aid and lead an applicant to get some possibly missing. pieces straight. It's cool we have someone for an area that not many cover, but that doesn't free him/her from proper packaging and getting to know the bits that make up a good packager. Especially here would a good guidance be sane and the very minimum a sponsor can do to bring in his/her applicant. In short: Being someone rare doesn't free up following best practices, that's the difference between a random dude and a good TU and the sponsor must help him achieving this.
My apologies, since I agree with your point of view, OTOH Ray is the one who has got all the needed skills. Actually he just needs somebody to assist him maintaining packages. I'm often using packages from jhernberg and schivmeister/Ray and edit them to build more recent packages, so the packages much likely wont become too disgusting. David has not to do much more, especially if we should have an Arch audio mailing list again and all Arch audio user, including myself, are willing to help, if David _should_ run into an issue. I understand your concerns against Ray's "freakish" sponsorship, anyway, consider to vote for David, because Arch audio has got no other opportunity and Ray's sponsorship is based upon a good impression of David's help, he already provided.
