Hi :)
I'm new to this list. I'm uncertain, but perhaps I'll maintain audio packages, however, I've to learn how to do it, so I started with a test PKGBUILD for a non-audio app I wanted to test.
IIUC what's written at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Packaging_Standards the below example needs just the following changes to become a valid PKGBUILD:
- I need to remove the # text lines, or should add useful text - remove # Contributor and add # Maintainer with my real name - should add an URL - if it shouldn't build from git/svn... I need to add a checksum

Where did you get this PKGBUILD template from? It’s outdated as hell. The new fancy way is much different.
Remove _gitroot. Under _gitname, insert:
sources=("git://github.com/gottcode/${_gitname}.git") md5sums=('SKIP')
Then remove all the lines in build() before the cmake line, and above it, put:
cd "${srcdir}/${_gitname}"
In package(), replace the `cd` line with the above and put quotes around ${pkgdir}. Moreover, you need a closing brace at the end of package()
Then, remove the comment lines and put a maintainer comment at the top.
