arch-wiki-md-repo/wiki/_content/english/Trusted Users.md

All arch-wiki articles in markdown format, updated every two days.

The [Trusted Users](https://www.archlinux.org/people/trusted-users/) serve the following purposes:

1.  Maintain the *community* repository as an intermediary between Arch Linux's [official repositories](/index.php/Official_repositories "Official repositories") and the unsupported package collection in the [AUR](/index.php/AUR "AUR").
2.  Maintain, manage, and watch over the operation of the [AUR](/index.php/AUR "AUR").

## How do I become a TU?

The *minimum* requirements to becoming a TU are as follows:

*   know basic shell scripting
*   maintain a few packages in AUR with clean, high-quality PKGBUILDs
*   basic community involvement (mailing list, forums, IRC)
*   know Google-Fu
*   a general idea of the kind of packages you want to maintain (basically, why do you want to become TU?)

Even though you could become a TU by merely fulfilling those minimum requirements, the people judging you during the [standard voting procedure](https://aur.archlinux.org/trusted-user/TUbylaws.html#_standard_voting_procedure) might expect more from you. Such as:

*   involvement in the bug tracker (reporting, research, info)
*   patches for Arch projects
*   involvement in a few open-source projects (even if they are your own)

If you still feel up to becoming a TU after reading these lines, the first step is to find a TU who agrees to sponsor you. Once sponsored, you should write a witty application signed with your GPG key to the aur-general mailing list.

**Note:** Should the TU you contact decline to sponsor your application, you should make this fact known if you seek sponsorship from another TU.

For more information, see the [Trusted User Bylaws](https://aur.archlinux.org/trusted-user/TUbylaws.html) and [AUR Trusted User Guidelines](/index.php/AUR_Trusted_User_Guidelines "AUR Trusted User Guidelines").
