I too would like to help out and apply for TU if possible. Wrote to schiv for that, but he seems very busy.
At least liblo 0.29 is now pushed to testing, happy to see that  :-)
In any case, I think it would be very much preferable to keep all those packages in community and not have them drop to AUR.

Mine are here:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?O=0&SeB=m&K=dvzrv&outdated=&SB=n&SO=a&PP=50&do_Search=Go
(Some outdated, on vacation right now).

From my attempts to contact speps (no reply through mail or xmpp over several months), I would suggest moving all of his packages to the hands of other maintainers asap.

+1 for a mailing list.

Best,
David
