I'm sorry, but i'm not going to do that. It was drama, it was a few years ago when i was younger and stupider. It's no longer an issue between myself and the parties involved so as i mentioned, i'm not going to bring it up and i very much hope this will be the last of the issue of if i was a Debian Developer or not. Let's just say i didn't want my name affiliated with Debian anymore when i left and leave it at that.
Here's my honest, no BS opinion: There are currently only 27 TU's and 36 developers in this project. I have the skills to be a very capable TU. I more or less don't care if you vote for me to be a TU to be perfectly honest. It's not going to plague me in the morning that i didn't get enough votes. I only feel that i'd bring something useful to a community with currently a lot of ground to cover (~9600 packages in the AUR) and from what i can see, not enough people to cover it. Thanks I hope you all do the right thing FOR THE COMMUNITY.
