Scripting/coding style has been discussed before. To use ${pkgver} instead
of $pkgver is due to consistency. Technically, the braces enable one to
append to variables eg. ${pkgver}alpha. Another camp would like
double-quotes as well. If you remember, the reason for quotes on
${src,pkg}dir is the fact that no one knows which bloke keeps his local
build dir named with spaces.
To KIS, "# Maintainer:" for binary maintainer and "# Contributor:" for the
following:
* A submitter of a package.
* A _significant_ contributor to the content of the buildscripts including
the PKGBUILD
-- so how would one define "significant"? well, it's up to you. If a
person does not own a package but has
contributed a good deal to it via other means (comments on AUR), the
owner _may_ choose to add that person to the list as well.
It's not supposed to be a big deal, so long as there's a way to contact
someone.
