I am closing this, as adding third-party package managers is not something we have bandwidth for.

AUR package is maintained by community member @RubenKelevra.
Similarly, someone from the community needs to create pacstall package and maintain it.
Here are some docs to get you started: https://github.com/pacstall/pacstall/wiki/Pacscript-101

Agreed. The AUR/community repo is also not maintained by any of the software developers of the software. Its a community effort around Arch to keep it up to date and building / functioning correctly.

Same is true for other similar projects.

While there are some prepacked packages, they are provided by an automated build process. So there's not "really" someone maintaining it.

The build process itself should be fairly easy, if you want to go ahead and become maintainer. The hard part is usually to adapt to changes upstream of the dependencies which are very new on Arch and sometimes newer than what the software developers use who create the software.

So be prepared to file some bug reports from time to time :)

Btw: If you like the AUR, why not use Arch instead? We have fresh packages :P
