That's fine. I became a TU under the role of AUR dev/admin. I have very
few packages. If you were to take up that role - it would be a special
status in itself anyways. :D It would be important that you have
communication with TUs and devs. As a TU you have a vote in the
direction of the AUR.

Now, there's a reason why I'd like to see more independent repo
projects. So that the AUR isn't so tied down to one community's
infrastructure. It could help foster innovation as well. Unfortunately,
there hasn't been that much development there.
