Is there any style checker tool for PKGBUILD files? Something similar
to lint? If yes then it worth checking for style violations as well,
e.g. "PKGBUILD does not have package()" function. So bot can send a
note to owner and mark the package somehow e.g. "Needs improvements"
If no improvement has been done during some period then the package is
disowned.
