I would say the bigger issue is needing more people willing to be package maintainers. Their docs do cover how to move packages from AUR to an official package but it does involve needing to be sponsored by existing package maintainers and doing extra work. In the end it didn't seem worth it for my package that meets the criteria to be /extra.

And with the AUR malware issue, if these AUR maintainers can't be bothered to maintain their packages and let them get orphaned, then how would you expect those maintainers to meet that higher standard of work?

Like any open source project, the limiting factor is the volunteers. And, well, I'm just not going to tell the arch linux volunteer package maintainers they need to do more when I haven't been willing to do the work they are doing
