As per Arch Wiki article, b2sums is the topmost preferred hash, even over sha512sums.

The b2sum command used by pacman/makepkg implements the BLAKE2b hash, which provides comparable integrity assurances as SHA-3 512-bit does, but runs considerably faster on most modern hardware.

In addition to declaring a license, please replace or at least supplement md5 with sha256 or better for the checksums.

can we also add support for lolcate here?

plocate is usable with this package too, so it should be compatible from package manager's point of view. But, unfortunately, plocate does not 'provide' mlocate for dependency resolution purposes, so they can't be installed together without screwing up pacman database with --nodeps flags.

As a temporary workaround, until stuff decided something about plocate, can we remove the dependency or make it optional here?
