PKGBUILDs generally look good and according to the guidelines. One thing
I noticed was that you still source explicit commits for VCS packages
instead of pkgver-tags, e.g. in libpfm:
_commit='3d77461cb966259c51f3b3e322564187f4bef7fb'
source=("$pkgname::git+https://git.code.sf.net/p/perfmon2/libpfm4#commit=$_commit";)
b2sums=('4380f73..')
This is no longer required since support for VCS checksums was added to
pacman - the above can be replaced with:
source=("$pkgname::git+https://git.code.sf.net/p/perfmon2/libpfm4#tag=v$pkgver";)
b2sums=('otherchecksum..')

There sure are, but they're not always so easy to identify, the
following pages might give you some ideas of where there is opportunity
help out:
- Orphaned packages [0].
- Open todos [1].
- Long-out-of-date packages [2].

All in all, congratulations on a very well-written application. I think
you have an impressive track-record and will make a addition to our
distribution.
Wish you all the best in the application process, good luck! :)
