Vim color scheme for PKGBUILDs on recent pacman update

I noticed that one of the recent pacman updates causes a different vim theme when editing PKGBUILD files.  The syntax highlighting therein seems to odd to me.  For example:

Lines 2 and 3 should be italicized and cyan like line 1
Why is line 5 red after the = sign?  Changing it an an array doesn't fix it.

From within vim, executing `:colo` returns "default" so perhaps this isn't due to pacman but to vim itself.  Can someone more vim savvy point me to the cause an potential fix?  Thanks!

The vim syntax file included with pacman-contrib calls out the maintainer tag specifically instead of leaving it as a simple comment. Expected behavior.

Thanks for the info, Scimmia.  I grepped for '*.vim' from `pacman -Qo pacman` but found a null.  I forgot about the pacman-contrib package.
