Hiya! Jerome convinced me to finally apply for TU, and Sven-Hendrik agreed to co-sponsor my application (both Cc'd). I'm a generalist that works on free software full time. I maintain the following AUR packages: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?SeB=m&K=sircmpwn I also maintain a third-party A

Thanks for all the feedback! I went through and cleaned up all of my AUR packages - something a wiser man would have done before submitting the TU application. Note that in some cases I disowned packages I was no longer interested in maintaining, and in the case of vgo both disowned and filed a de
