Hello,

I work with the organisation (Bangor University) responsible for creating the 
Welsh (Cymraeg) Hunspell data (.dic and .aff files). I am happy to package it 
and maintain it such that a `hunspell-cy` package exists for spellchecking. 
I've taken a look at 
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Package_Maintainers#How_do_I_become_a_Package_Maintainer?
 and it looks like I would need to first maintain an AUR package to achieve 
this, as well as find two current package maintainers willing to sponsor me?

I can see a user-contributed package exists here already 
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/hunspell-cy-git though it hasn't been 
maintained recently. I'm happy to provide an alternate package, or take over 
maintenance, or skip AUR completely and provide an official package: whatever 
is Arch's process here.

I've never packaged software for Linux distros, but I am fairly active with KDE 
https://invent.kde.org/finw and have been providing the Hunspell data for 
LibreOffice https://extensions.libreoffice.org/en/extensions/show/27374 / 
https://github.com/fin-w/LibreOffice-Geiriadur-Cymraeg-Welsh-Dictionary, so I'm 
certain I can maintain the `hunspell-cy` package long-term.

Can somebody help me get started?

Many thanks,

Finley
