A few things:
1) We accept properly formatted patches against our git repository:
http://www.archlinux.org/pacman/submitting-patches.html
The source of makepkg has changed significantly as since v3.5.3, there's
been 505 commits with 10% of those going to makepkg.
2) This would be an undocumented feature that should be called out in
the man page.
3) Not sure I agree with this change in execution as randomly pulling in
environment variables can and will cause trouble. I'd rather see this
implemented as an additional flag to makepkg.
