I'd prefer issues with diff files attached over pull requests or merge requests , but neither is currently possible within AUR.
CI sounds nice especially with 4 choices for dependencies, but those docker images would have to be updated atleast several times a week. Maybe if llvm-git & llvm-minimal-git were also included the extra work is worth it.
That suggests this shouldn't be a one-person initiative. How flexible are gitlab / github for setting up and managing a small collaboration ?
Gitlab seems to be a bit friendlier towards open source then github and gitlab source code is available. If all other things are equal, I'd prefer gitlab I think.
One question we should answer before doing anything is : What license will files be published under ? In my opinion PKGBUILD and related files are not original works, so don't have any copyright attached. No idea how to express that in a icense though.

removed obsolete options, build now works again.
building opencl clover is disabled for now, see https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/11863
Those that need opencl should use rusticl instead. Note that rusticl at runtime is disabled by default, see https://docs.mesa3d.org/envvars.html#rusticl-environment-variables for info about enabling it.

Mesa and llvm are closely tied together. Everytime the llvm mesa is built against changes/updates , mesa needs to be rebuilt.
I expect anyone building mesa-git against one of the llvm trunk variants to be able to do that themselves, but atleast some of the people that built against repo llvm don't understand how to deal with such a rebuild.
The rest of this post is meant for those people.
Option A - best one
see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:Building_in_a_clean_chroot for the official way or https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/clean-chroot-manager for an alternative method.
Option B - 2nd best

WARNING : aur helpers don't support this method at all. They check .SRCINFO and that doesn't include this variable so it will use the default which is hardcoded to build against repo llvm.
Why would I want to use llvm development versions ?

run pacman Syu update non-repo packages for llvm if you use them
build mesa-git, log out , update mesa-git and restart X .
