Possible, but is it really necessary? How is this different than the original approach (TU changes the name, maintainer updates the PKGBUILD) ?

The main advantage is that the new package gets uploaded before the name change, meaning there won't be a mismatch between pkgname in the PKGBUILD and the name displayed on the web interface. It's just a more consistent way to handle renames. However, both approaches seem acceptable to me. :)
