That depends entirely on the maintainer of the AUR package, there is no
"standard" for contributing patches to the maintainer. Some provide a
Git{hub,lab,ea} repository for their AUR packages, some don't. Most people who
decide to contribute to the maintainer tend to either send the patch by email
or put it in a pastebin/gist and put the link in the comments.
