Hello WebDawg
Hello,
I have used the AUR extensively for the past 15 years and I would like
to help. I know there have been many attacks on the AUR recently, and
a lot of folks shout "check your PKGBUILD", but I think there is
something more here.
There are often really needed and great packages in the AUR, and I do
not think we should take that for granted. I think the AUR is a big
reason people use Archlinux.
I want to help. Where is this discussion at, and is there anything I
can do to start? I think the security of the AUR could be improved.
Many ideas for enhancing AUR were proposed on aur-general list, you can
read the archives on
https://lists.archlinux.org/archives/list/[email protected]/
Actually only PMs can moderate the AUR requests

In the future (we still don't know when) a new AUR moderator role will
be established:
