I'd not used rust before and had a little trouble getting this to install. For me this package installed the rust package as a makedepends, but then failed to build eww with error E0554: feature attributes are only allowed on the nightly release channel.
Instead (following archwiki) I installed rustup from the repos and ran "rustup toolchain install nightly". Then I was able to build eww.
I'm not sure if the package maintainer can do anything about this, but I hope it helps someone else.
You should use the install command instead of the mkdir and then the mv command. Also, the pkgver errors:
==> Starting pkgver()...
fatal: No names found, cannot describe anything.
I have updated the PKGBUILD with your suggestions
A couple issues with this package:
The license is simply WRONG - Eww is licensed under MIT, not GPL
Non-rust dependencies like gtk are missing from the list of dependencies
provides should contain eww
The pkgver() format is kind of dumb, as it does not indicate actual order.
Instead, the suggested approach of using rREVISION_NUMBER should be followed - the arch wiki specifies how to implement that.
The PKGBUILD currently builds eww in debug profile. Instead, it should be built in release mode.

Adopted and updated. Make sure to fetch the signing keys from GitHub and import them before building:
