Hello Quentin,

My name is Quentin, or mh4ckt3mh4ckt1c4s/mh4ckwascut on the AUR and other Arch

Good luck on the application

[..] I would like to bring from my AUR packages to the extra repo podman-desktop

You are maintaining podman-desktop-bin. We rarely package binary packages if we can build the ones from source. Do you plan to build from source this?

I also plan to merge my zaproxy-desktop package with zaproxy that is already in 
extra.

This is just an icon and a .desktop file - you can raise an MR already for it.

As for the packages I can co-maintain, I would be happy to help with 
LLVM-related packages, or any other package that would need help and where I 
would be useful, like containerization or security tools.

Sure - you can look at orphan first :)


A few comments on your PKGBUILDs from AUR

> python-stegoveritas

The PKGBUILD seems to not follow the python packages guidelines [1]

This [2] is slightly confusing. It adds no value as far as I can tell as it doesn't change the default behaviour. Can you elaborate a bit on why this patch is needed? This seems weird PKGBUILD. Using a split pattern for a non split package and not following python guidelines [1]
