I usually try to find the solution and send patch to upstream if needed before open bug reports.

You did a great job helping me a lot in improving our packages and I
appreciate your effort and I hope your application is a success.

I don't want to move all of these packages to [community], only the popular ones. I always try to make the best packages and I hate poorly written PKGBUILDs.
