Yep, in theory, we can do it. But you must upload a package with correct name first. And anyway package names with capital letters are not recommended. So, the current package name is good and I really don't think that renaming is necessary.

You should rename the package to qtmind-git, and make use of the pacman 4.1 VCS templates [1] (i.e. put the git repo URL in the sources array, write a pkgver function, and don't manually clone/make a build directory).
You should also surround every $srcdir and $pkgdir with double quotes. You also might want to check whether the Makefile has a install recipe, rather than manually installing the files.
I don't know why you want to use capital letters everywhere. The description is grating enough without $pkgname doing it too.
Cheers,

About using pacman 4.1 VCS template (i.e. put the git repo URL in the sources array, write a pkgver function, and don't manually clone/make a build directory): The fact is that I don't want to download the whole repo (which contains other branches). Please look at my earlier post on the forrum
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=174122
If there is anyway to clone a single branch as you recommned, it would be very nice, but it seems that there is no way to do that.

There is one other branch, so what? Unless you're talking about more than 100MB, I would say just clone the whole thing and be done with it. You only have to do it once.

I do not think AUR allows to create packages with UpperCase letters.

Even if it should be allowed, nobody want's to keep in mind which package names are complete lower case and which package names are camel case. To make the usage of the package management for all of us users easy, please stay with lower case, even if camel case should be allowed.
TIA ;) Ralf

Eww CameLcase is the work of the devil!! Just say no to camelcaSe!!
Ok thanks guys. After I sent the rename request, I realized that the current lower case name is better. Thanks also for tips. I will revise the package soon.
