Gentoo

But let's hope we get this solved, like peer review model, vouch, or something

It is very good to be able to find build/install files for everything

Gentoo's model appears to be basically the same? Like the AUR, anybody can submit basically anything they want. The requirements amount to containing valid packages, having a bugzilla account, and putting your package definitions in VCS somewhere.

In overlays that need to be explicitly enabled. Not as convenient as yay yolo.

We can also add npm to package.mask.

Yay isn’t in the official arch repos? The only way you get stuff from the AUR is by explicitly pulling down to repo and building with makepkg or explicitly finding and installing an AUR “helper”.
