i have been using archlinux for about 3 months.I have switched from
fedora to arch due to its simplicity.
i had reported a bug
http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/15199?string=xzgv&project=1&type[0]=&sev[0]=&pri[0]=&due[0]=&reported[0]=&cat[0]=&status[0]=open&percent[0]=&opened=&dev=&closed=&duedatefrom=&duedateto=&changedfrom=&changedto=&openedfrom=&openedto=&closedfrom=&closedto=
when i first started using arch.Recently it has been fixed and i have
tested and reported it. 

However it seems that xzgv package is currently orphaned as this page
shows
http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/i686/xzgv/
so is rtorrent and libtorrent.They have been marked out-of-date for
a while now.

is another trusted user or developer will be maintaining the packages in
the future ?

i want to help and i want to maintain the above packages if someone else
has not decided already. so where do i apply and how do i start ?
