Re: [aur-general] TU question
Excerpts from Xyne's message of July 24, 2017 3:54 pm: Generously bribing existing TUs with fresh tacos can also help to swing the vote in your favor. There's a lot of us now though so it will be expensive. The TU system is basically a pyramid scheme. The earlier you get in, the more tacos you net.

I believe that covers most of it. You should probably be prepared for anthraxx to go over your AUR packages with a fine-toothed comb looking for every conceivable mistake you could make though. :D Really, the main thrust of it is finding a TU to sponsor you, and making a good case as to what you want to accomplish as a TU and what your previous track record is in the Arch/FOSS community as a way to gauge what kind of maintainer you would be. In my experience lurking here, most people who can make a coherent argument for all those things tend to be accepted.
