Configure AUR to always skip test? GLOBAL PACKAGE OPTIONS -> specific?

Is it possible to configure AUR to always skip tests for some packages?

For some reason python2 is being pulled in on most of my Arch systems by other packages I'm using, and unlike the old days it's now an AUR package rather than a prebuilt.  Whenever it updates there are a TON of long running and also some seriously annoying (plays audio) tests.

#/etc/makepkg.conf
...
# GLOBAL PACKAGE OPTIONS
#   These are default values for the options=() settings
...

Implies that package specific options may exist, but skipping tests appears to be an all or nothing thing per (in my case yay) command invocation.

Per package BUILDENV then, For example, the default BUILDENV is as you just quoted.

Can it be specified PER PACKAGE somewhere?  So over-ride the global value (In configuration files, not at invocation time!) with E.G.
/etc/makepkg.d/python2 : BUILDENV=(!distcc color !ccache !check !sign)

If it's specific to a package, put it in the PKGBUILD.
