A Claude summary:
The AUR is run by the "Package Maintainers" (formerly "Trusted Users"),
who are official Arch staff [1]. Their governance is written down in the
Package Maintainer Bylaws [2]. The bylaws set out the group's mission,
which includes maintaining, managing and watching over the operation of
the AUR. They also set out the voting procedures, for example for new
members and for amending the bylaws themselves. Amendments are proposed
on aur-general.
Changes that affect Arch as a whole go through the RFC process [3].
For day-to-day rules, see the AUR submission guidelines [4].
