Please take into account that pro-audio package maintainers should be those, who also use the packages for audio work on at least a nearly professional quality level, IOW they need to have skills that are at least close to a professional audio engineering niveau. Obviously not many users have very good audio engineering skills + Linux skills + Arch packaging skills + time to maintain packages, so you should lower your sights for such a nice domain.
