Many of these patches and bugs are switching to https and signed commits
and given the limited AUR packages (3) you are involved as maintainer /
co-maintaner I don't see a lot of PKGBUILDs to have a view on your
packaging history.

Some of these are with a sole maintainer which is great since they could

What stops you from opening bug report and submitting patches for those
now without being a TU? If these are in core/extras your options would
be the same as you have now, right?
