Yay, I like seeing applications who want to help maintain packages which
are already in our repositories!

Some notes on your AUR packages:

* choria-io
  - 'github.com/choria-io/go-choria/build.BuildDate=$(date '+%F %T %z')'
    Recording the build date is non reproducible, will give
reproducibility issues. SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH can be used to make it
reproducible, see https://reproducible-builds.org/docs/source-date-epoch/

  - systemd unit could have some systemd hardening applied, see the wiki
or 'man systemd.exec'

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_package_guidelines/Security#Systemd_services

* log4r
  - Package lacks a license=(), upstream url is no longer valid it seems?

* tftp-hpa-destruct
  - systemd service could use some hardening
  - how did you obtain the LICENSE file? From their official website?
  It's interesting it's not in the official tarball :)

Greetings,

Jelle
