If any Arch developer were to magically receive a new, secure-boot secured computer, then we could quickly get shim support.
Well, I'm not an Arch developer, but as it happens I got myself a Thinkpad X230i today, which is capable of secure boot.
If I can be of any help, message me.
Greetings, Christoph
I actually just bought a new laptop with secure boot capable UEFI, and if a generous developer could just release an iso with both the shim and grub-efi installed, then I (and the other Christoph) would gladly try it on our own machines. As far as I know, the only bootloader that the shim currently supports right now is GRUB2, because the shim is actually coded so that grub will call back to the shim to check the MOK list before it boots the kernel. I understand that the developer of rEFInd is fidgeting with his or her bootloader to support the shim.
