I would love to see this happen.
I'm a user of both archlinux and archlinux arm, I have a few packages on AUR and I sometimes post issues on archlinux gitlab and got quick replies.
I am quite disheartened seeing the state of archlinux arm. Their forum registration has been broken for months, attempts have been made to fix the forum with no reply.
I am shocked to see that `extras/chromium` is broken for years in arch linux arm! There are many many PRs (and consolidated PR) to fix this issue, one of the maintainer sees the PR and tagged the other maintainers to no avail. I was eventually led to other user's maintained build, presumably out of frustration.
I'd love to help, I'd post in their forum had it not been broken. I think there's a lot of archlinux arm users who would love for the project to be merged under arch linux, especially with arm servers and desktops becoming more relevant.
We would like to hear more from arch linux leaderships.

I feel your pain. I got tired of the issues you describe as well. I am working on my own packages and I have everything working on Raspberrypi 4 and 5. CLI and lxqt desktop working, I am type this on a desktop system from my efforts. I wrote some scripts that process the "base" package and the build them. I may my PKGBUILD's available on codeberg but I am not at that point yet. I have a few packages about 40 out of 2000 that are not building and I am currently working on those. I too would welcome archlinux to modify their package to build on aarch64. There isn't many changes required. -- Hindi madali ang maging ako
