I somewhat suspect that most Devs/TUs share my personal feelings on the matter, which is that of violent disapproval of Ubuntuware. :D (And okay, it officially supports other distros and I think it's great that you're working to get it running more smoothly on Arch, because supporting multiple options is great, but flatpak just comes across as more distro-agnostic, with a more pleasant user experience, reliance on bubblewrap and seccomp instead of apparmor, and less hardcoded assumptions about sources. <3 freedesktop standards FTW.) So I figure it will be a lot harder to find a new maintainer for it in [community], since that does require someone who is both a Dev/TU and personally interested in the software. > OTOH, I've been using Arch for >> 10 years and never grew an ambition to > become a packager or a TU. Well, maybe now's the time :) If you think you can contribute, applying to become a TU is an excellent aspiration! Might want to showcase maintaining more than the one package though. :) If you do become interested in this, there is a Wiki page giving a general overview of the process including tips on making a favorable impression: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Trusted_Users#How_do_I_become_a_TU.3F -- Eli Schwartz
