What's the current process for adding new packages?

With the recent changeover from Phabricator to Github, I'm a bit confused on the process for submitting new packages (i.e. in response to package requests). There are a couple of package requests that I own that I would love to submit packages for, but I'm not sure what the process is now that we aren't using arcanist.

Do I submit a PR to https://github.com/getsolus/packages? I can't exactly add a new repo to solus-packages, considering that I'm just a volunteer maintainer and not on the global maintainers team. What's the right way to go about this?

We're still asking that people file package requests using the form found at https://issues.getsol.us (which is actually just a link to the issues for github/getsolus/packages)

When your package is approved, you will make a PR with the new package.yaml and accompanying files to github/getsolus/packages that will be reviewed and then copied over to github/solus-packages.

Tracey is in the middle of documenting all this properly on https://help.getsol.us. Please bear with as we all get used to the new Github workflows. You can always ask questions in the Matrix rooms if you get stuck.
