namcap runs checks against what is commented in a PKGBUILD as well, resulting in confusing messages like this one:

"PKGBUILD (e2fsprogs) W: Reference to i686 should be changed to $CARCH"

when the maintainer line contains something like this:

"# i686 Maintainer: judd <jvinet@zeroflux.org>"

i suggest to not have namcap run any checks on comments at all except for the maintainer lines maybe. which reminds me that the $CARCH in front of the actual keyword "Maintainer" makes it possible to give credit to the original authors in a port w/o the compromise to accept this one warning all the time.

example e2fsprogs PKGBUILD:
