Please.
Use Case: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/scribus-svn/#news
An AUR maintainer was asked by an AUR admin to no longer use aur update bot for updating any package without a "real" PKGBUILD change. He said I was violating guidelines.
The Scribus release cycle is painfully slow. So it's useful to update directly from their svn. This feature would allow that.
Another reason: From a security standpoint it's important to see the contents of PKGBUILD to make sure there are no shenanigans going on.
Also the ability to edit the build() so that I could add make -j4 to utilize more cores AKA faster build
