Captcha on Aur account creation
To register for an account on aur.archlinux.org you need to provide a captcha that require you have an Arch Linux instance running (access to run pacman). Could you consider creating a captcha which is more universal?
My situation is I want to download a package from Aur to be used in centOS, Debian and OpenSUSE, but I want to see the profile of the developer/maintainer to get an idea if that person is respectable/trustworthy, i.e. if I dare to execute the binary on my systems.. Secondly I also wanted to post a comment on the package page.
But this was not possible as I don't have an Aur account, and I cannot create one, since I don't have Arch running anywhere :-(
I would claim there can be many legitimate and good reasons for non-arch users to be able to create and Aur account.
