While skimming through the packages a bit I found two things:
- *rpan-studio*:
(I saw afterwards that you wanted to drop the package[0] anyways ^^)
- I think you could use `-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=None` as per
the cmake packaging guidelines[1] in build()
- Currently fails to build

Please dont overdo the "Manjaro bad" meme ... While arch sometimes has
(had) a rocky relationship with its downstream distributions or their
userbase (especially because of the fact that support is limited to arch
only) there is nothing wrong with using them as long as its fullfills a
usecase for you.

I think you could be a great addition to the team, so good luck
regarding the further application process!
cheers,
