Thanks for asking. I am rarely asked about this.
I'm planning on doing at least one more update to the AUR.
I'm not really sure beyond that. What I'd really like to see is people
running their own AUR, either taking the code or reimplementing it and
creating custom repos. I'm not sure how realistic such a wish is.

If your patches aren't pushed to the git repo then please send a
follow-up email. It may just still be in my queue for review.

I understand your disappointment.
It would be really nice if I could have a partner to work on and
administer the AUR with, but it seems that no one in the Arch community
really has enough initiative or time or expertise. I even feel myself
lacking in those. That or I'm doing a super fantastic job. :D

If you have any more specific questions, feel free to ask and I'll try
to answer them.
