Did you just compare the service of highly-paid lawyers and doctors with
voluntary time on the Arch ML? =)
My observation is that most of the responses so

Yeah, when I got started into learning package maintenance in Arch, I
recall reading the wiki pages for AUR and ABS (the Arch Build
System). Sorry, I forget the exact links but the ABS stuff explains
PKGBUILDs really well and when I combined that with the AUR material,
I felt I was pretty will inf

David,
I will try to have some courtesy to you this time.
I usually read the mailing list, I don't reply it at all (just when I
need to say my opinion) but, trust me, I read at least 70% of the

Hello again David,
If you're motivated and willing to learn, you can always give it a
try! A fair amount of the packages in the AUR are fairly simple to
maintain (version bumping, applying a simple patch etc.) and most
related questions have already been asked, debated and answered on the
forums.

Hello David,
If you're logged in to the AUR, any package with an orphan status will
have an "Adopt Packages" button on its page.
