[aur-general] REMOVAL: xterminus

[Callan Barrett]

This is an email to propose the removal of the Trusted User xterminus
(Charles Mauch), I feel this is required so the group of Trusted Users
does not stagnate and he is the perfect candidate for putting the
bylaws into effect. xterminus has been gone for what I believe is
months without any sort of notification, he has not maintained any of
his packages nor has he participated in any of the votes.

This will begin the 3 day discussion period as written in the bylaws.

I'll start: as much as don't like to do this to someone I knew as well
as xterminus the fact is he has disappeared off the face of the earth,
nobody knows where he's gone, nobody knows if he'll be back. He does
not respond to email and he hasn't done anything as a TU in months,
nobody has seen him on irc and his website seems to have long expired.
I think his removal is the best thing to do.

I know xterminus maintained a *lot* of packages in community, most of
them being CPAN modules which, according to xterminus, had a whole set
of special scripts he used to maintain them. I don't think it's a good
idea to put them into unsupported and that they should be deleted from
community altogether, any other packages he maintained  that are left
over should be taken on by whatever TU can handle them and then
anything left should be put into unsupported.

I'd like to hear anyone else's opinion on this.
