    Hi Giancarlo,
    as per our TU bylaws [0] one must find two sponsoring _TUs_:

     > In order to become a TU, one must first find two sponsoring TUs
    following the guidelines outlined below, and arrange privately with
    them to announce their candidacy on the aur-general mailing list.

    But as of [1] you resigned as TU. Therefore it appears to me that
    you cannot sponsor Martin.

    Best regards,
    Frederik

hello,



But we are not adding a TU, but a Package Maintainer.
Gian is a package maintainer.
so am I.

best,
tomaz

i disagree with the premisses states here, the document says that for addition of a TU one must find two TUs to sponsor,

Hi,


The bylaws has been updated accordingly [2][3].





[1] https://rfc.archlinux.page/0007-rename-trusted-user-role/

The "TU / Trusted User" role is the old name for the current "PM / Package Maintainer" one. See the related RFC for the rename of the role [1]. Technically speaking, if Giancarlo resigned as a TU, he is defacto not a package maintainer (as TU is simply the previous name of the current PM role). Although, I personally have no strong feeling about this. I just wanted to clarify the eventual TU / PM roles confusion.
