Thanks for you application and good luck!

I looked over them and they generally seem fine. The only weird part I have
found is this install script that symlinks `/usr/bin/clipboard` to `/usr/bin/cb`
in 3 packages. Why did you pick this solution?

Nice, I looked over the original packaging and was disappointed in the
package quality. Hopefully it will shape up nicely in the future.

Is this covered under the "protonmail" trademark? Can we redistribute this with
the name "protonmail"? Is there any other terms or restrictions on this?

I had similar concerns with `unrar`, but it seems like Fedora and Ubuntu is
packaging this. I'd assume this should be safe then.

A few of these have two maintainers already, is there any orphaned packages you
would like to maintain in the repositories?

Keep in mind that any packages in [extra] is not accessible to TUs currently,
but the plan is for this to change.
