@delx About your pinned comment and the current state of this package:
-
"This package is intended to track the latest stable MythTV fixes branch. Currently this is fixes/32." --> Since the default upstream branch is "master", this should be made clear somewhere (for instance in the package name and/or description). Also, at the time I'm writing this comment, the fixes/33 branch seems to be the latest one (https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv/tree/fixes/33).
-
"Whenever a commit is made by MythTV's git upstream you can rebuild this package without waiting for an update." --> So this package is a VCS one, meaning it should respect the VCS packaging guidelines [1] (notably in terms of name suffix).
You can either rewrite the PKGBUILD to build this package out of the latest tag (which is how the "regular" mythtv package is expected to be built), or you can recreate a new proper package according to it's current state.
If you want to go with the latter solution, my advice would be to create a new package named and described properly regarding the used branch and the VCS nature of this package and make a merge request from this mythtv package to the new one. A name like mythtv-fixes-git and a description mentioning that this package is based out of the latest "fixes/X" branch feels more appropriate.
I put the current orphan request on hold for the time being. However I expect the above to be fixed, otherwise I'm afraid I'm gonna have to delete that package as it does not respect the general packaging guidelines in it's current state.

This package replaces the previous 'mythtv' AUR package. It has been renamed to comply with Arch's VCS package guidelines.
I hope to update the various mythplugins AUR packages soon
