That's unfair to your userbase. There's no way for people to contribute
to core packages, period. Community packages require being a TU, which
as far as I know is not an easy process to go through. The AUR does not
accept "under any circumstances"[1] packages already in community/core.
We understand that maintainers may be overworked, we sympathize, and the
message here should have been more focused on "how can we make this
situation better".
But you do need to tell us what kind of help you need. Or, if you feel
that there is no help needed, make this clear and let us know that the
status quo is acceptable from your point of view.
