Aside from regular upstream updates, I would propose to host a dedicated repo to store and manage all the patches for Brave, just like how Arch Linux does with the chromium package. I'm not sure if it's appropriate to do so as an AUR package.
Keeping patches in the AUR is fine as a general rule. I believe the Chromium ones were split out externally because several distros were using the same patches and updating them became a collaborative thing. That may apply here too, but before splitting them out I'd be interested in talking about the workflow on them with whoever was going to be using them on another distro. Versioning patches is a bit of a pain and we'd have to figure out whether keeping multiple files with version ids or tagging for versions or tagging for distros or some other workflow worked better for everyone. Until then versioning is a lot easier when it is done side by side with our packaging updates and I suggest we keep it like that for now until there is another known use case.
