That's unfair to your userbase. There's no way for people to contribute 
to core packages, period. Community packages require being a TU, which 
as far as I know is not an easy process to go through. The AUR does not 
accept "under any circumstances"[1] packages already in community/core.

We understand that maintainers may be overworked, we sympathize, and the 
message here should have been more focused on "how can we make this 
situation better".

But you do need to tell us what kind of help you need. Or, if you feel 
that there is no help needed, make this clear and let us know that the 
status quo is acceptable from your point of view.

Best regards,
