Hello. I'd like to apply to become a trusted user.

I started using Arch around 2009 when we still had the curses installer,
rc.conf, hal... the good old days. I left at some point and came back as
a full-time user about three years ago. You can find me on IRC under the
name blakkheim, usually in #archlinux-security since that's my main area
of interest.

I'm the maintainer or co-maintainer for a few OpenBSD-derived packages
in the AUR: openiked, rpki-client, and openbgpd. I've been involved with
OpenBSD since 2014 and became a project committer there in early 2016.

In the last two years I've submitted just over 150 patches to the Arch
bug tracker: https://bugs.archlinux.org/index.php?opened=32638&status[]=

Some community packages I'd like to co-maintain are openntpd, opensmtpd,
libressl, sndio, mandoc, signify, dnscrypt-proxy, bmake, scrot, firejail,
xcalib, mktorrent, parallel, ncmpcpp...

And more (frankly, lots more) in the core/extra repos if that option opens
up in the future. I keep up with many software projects via their mailing
lists and RSS/atom feeds. If I'm accepted, one of my goals will be to get
missing security fixes into Arch's repository shortly after their upstream
release.

The sponsors of my application are dvzrv, kpcyrd, and anthraxx. (yep, three)
