Regular users like me can't commit to the repo, TUs can only work in the [community] repo, and developers are all busy doing their own maintainer work.

Give anthraxx some time. He is our busy supreme leader and head of arch
linux. He might need some time to get everything in normal state again.
Moreover he manages over 750 packages.. with 85 being flagged.. this is
a little more than 10%. We have TUs with a worse statistic (including
me).

Not all delays mean that the maintainer is lazy. Some delays may occur
due to dependencies, difficulties with upstream or missing tests.

Did you consider signing up for testing packages? This would help a lot
and make the whole process faster for everybody for us.
