Yup.  

I have a prototype for an "arch" importer that parses the Archlinux
PKGBUILD files (32% coverage even without any fancy package name
mapping).

I also have a patch to the github updater so that it can update
packages that use git-fetch.  This brings the coverage up to 15.9% from
9.6%.  I think this will be useful if we keep moving packages away from
github's generated tarballs.
