I came across the same news yesterday here at this post on the Arch forums,

 

Arch Linux and Valve Collaboration

 

This led me to this detailed video on the Arch developers reasons and methodology for the collaboration.

 

Boring infrastructure: Building a secure signing environment

 

Quote

This presentation will provide a general overview of the [Signstar](https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/signstar/) project, which is currently under development by Arch Linux to provide a generic signing solution based on a Hardware Security Module (HSM).

To improve build automation and general supply chain security for Arch Linux, some of its developers have started to conceptualize and work on a generic, central signing solution: [Signstar](https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/signstar/).
In this context, related work has been evaluated for adoption, but it soon became clear, that to meet the distribution's requirements a custom solution would be implemented.

I see nothing but good coming from Valve/Steam as they have supported linux for a long time now. I imagine that we will end up getting a steam build for arch instead of using the ubuntu build source.
