[aur-general] Which developer should be considered as TU?

[Balló György]

Hi,

The Trusted Users list is a bit different between Archweb and AUR. It
looks like it's unclear which developer is a TU also. This means that
we don't know how many active TUs are there, therefore can't ensure
that the quorum meets on each votes. There are four categories:

1. The following developers are listed on Arch Linux Trusted Users
page[1], and their account type is 'Trusted User' in AUR:
- Bartłomiej Piotrowski (Barthalion)
- Evangelos Foutras (foutrelis)
- Laurent Carlier (lordheavy)
- Sven-Hendrik Haase (svenstaro)
- Thomas Dziedzic (td123)

2. The following developers are listed on Arch Linux Trusted Users
page[1], but their account type is 'Developer' in AUR:
- Dave Reisner (falconindy)
- Florian Pritz (Bluewind)
- Jan Steffens (heftig)
- Ray Rashif (schivmeister)

3. The following developers are not listed on Arch Linux Trusted Users
page[1], but their account type is 'Trusted User' in AUR:
- Ángel Velásquez (angvp)
- Gerardo Pozzi (djgera)

4. The following developer is not listed on Arch Linux Trusted Users
page[1], and his account type is 'Developer' in AUR, but still takes
part in votes:
- Ronald van Haren (pressh)


According to Trusted User Bylaws, TUs (and only TUs) must take part in
votes. Therefore there should be a clear implementation like this:

- Developers who want to take part in votes should set their account
type to 'Trusted User' (or to a new 'Developer+Trusted User' type) in
AUR, and they should be added to the Arch Linux Trusted Users page[1].

- Developers who don't want to take part in votes should set their
account type to 'Developer' in AUR, and they should be removed from
the Arch Linux Trusted Users page[1].

- Users with 'Developers' account type in AUR should not be allowed to vote.


What is your opinion?
