## Staff
We would like to welcome Tomaz Canabrava (tcanabrava) as part of the
Arch Linux Package Maintainer team.
## AURWeb
In [AURWeb v6.2.7][0], we primarily focused on bug fixes while revamping
Prometheus metrics. We introduced new measures like request tracking and
cache-hit/miss ratios for search queries, enhancing our ability to make
development decisions and aiding the AUR moderation team in identifying
trends.
Collaborating with the DevOps team, we introduced a CI/CD feature called
[Review Apps][1]. This feature enables us to create virtual machines
running AURWeb for each merge request, facilitating change showcases,
manual testing, and involving a wider audience for performance,
stress-testing, and UI verification.
## RFC
We [proposed and accepted an RFC][2] to define the default of not using
`PyPI` for Python package sources and only use the platform if there is
no other alternative. You can find more details about [this RFC][2] on
GitLab. By making this change, we ensure to have a more reliable and
less cumbersome default.
## Trademark Policy
We've [relocated our Trademark Policy][3] from the Developer area of the
ArchWiki to the [service-agreements GitLab repository][4], which is
published at [`terms.archlinux.org`][5]. This move centralizes all legal
documents, ensuring consistent collaboration across our service
agreement materials.
