Yo! In April there was some discussion regarding how to properly do unit testing in Python PKGBUILDs[1]. Felix had some amazing notes that was super useful. But as pointed out we don't really strive to document these things[2]. To try help and spark some interest in improving the current package guidelines, I have spent a some time restructuring and rewriting parts of the Python and Golang package guidelines. I'd appreciate reviews on them!

I think this helps both fellow maintainers and AUR maintainers in writing better PKGBUILDs and sharing knowledge. If people think editing wikis are annoying, maybe we could setup a github repository with example PKGBUILDs we can work on?
