Hello AUR Team, I was planning to upload a harmless little package to the AUR. Unfortunately, I seem to have encountered a minor obstacle: I cannot create an account.
I briefly considered uploading a virus instead, just to demonstrate why having responsible, identifiable package maintainers is important. Naturally, I decided that would be a terrible first contribution to the Arch Linux ecosystem. So, here's my modest proposal: could you perhaps let me create an account before I develop any more questionable ideas? Jokes aside, I understand the registration restrictions are in place for security reasons, and I appreciate the work being done to address abuse. I simply hope a reasonable registration process becomes available again soon. I'd quite like to publish Kenning, my KDE Plasma face-authentication project, properly through the AUR. Best regards, A prospective Arch package maintainer
