I think it would be great to have you on board Allan!

As I have never sponsored anybody, and since I know the stuff you 
maintain on AUR, I am going to pass by Roman (sorry!) and hereby declare 
my willingness to sponsor you :P

As I am sure this question will pop up soon, I do encourage you to 
consider building your packages for x86_64 using Aaron's build machine. 
We can give you details about that once you are a TU ;)

This opens the usual discussion period.

Cheers,
François
