Minor issue but on the next update consider adding an example commented line and explanation for users behind a proxy server so they can get the keyserver to function.

Example:

$ cat /etc/pacman.d/gnupg/gpg.conf
no-greeting
no-permission-warning
lock-never
keyserver hkp://pgp.mit.edu
# set and uncomment the following line if behind a proxy
# http-proxy=http://myproxy.com:5000
This task depends upon

Going for "won't fix" for two reasons:
1) pacman.conf and makepkg.conf do not have comments about handling proxies.
2) this is just one of many possible options that are not included in the file...
