the dev list really is the best attended communication channel - most parabola devs do not watch the bug tracker, forum, IRC, or the pagure repo; but most active and inactive devs read the dev list

I didn't get a comment on most of them or if they are even appropriate to package so I assumed they fell between the cracks, good to know though that the list is more relevant than here.

About wlr-randr: it can be skipped, as I've managed to replicate the same behavior by using kanshi instead (which is already in the repos) - I will try to document it though in the wiki, as even the project's official docs are a bit lacking.

packaging requests take so long because they are time consuming - some are dreaded, eg: yet another un-reproducible webby contraption or AUR-dep rabbit-hole - i just checked, of the 411 packaging requests on the bug tracker, 187 were completed or rejected - what parabola needs is a triage and/or licensing teams to process all the incoming packaging requests, patches, and freedom bugs, manage the blacklist, pagure pull-requests, etc

I do understand and greatly appreciate the effort that goes into maintaining Parabola overall!
In the case of gmid, I would like to point out that the attached PKGBUILD is a point update to an already existing package, that has been sitting for over a month - meanwhile unifont got updated much faster. This is what lead me to thinking some of these might've not been noticed.
As for the rest, this isn't merely a regular package request - in all of those I've attached PKGBUILDs that were vetted with libremakepkg and where I personally went ahead and checked the licenses (for the sake of accuracy, naemon is the only one I didn't properly vet - and I should've pointed that out).
As for the software itself, almost all of these are written in C and are generally small programs with minimal dependencies (all the dependencies are already in Parabola's repos).
But again, as I said earlier, the only one that really surprised me was gmid - since it is a minor update and not a wholly new package.
