I don't fully understand the logic in currently having an .AURINFO instead of defining the .SRCINFO format right now and have a tool generating those for the time being (since it'll likely be the same format as .PKGINFO). It can go in makepkg later.
Because the requirements for such a .SRCINFO are much higher than the requirements for what we need in the AUR. For example, it needs to support split packages. Feel free to come up with a format that is general enough to be accepted as official .SRCINFO and send patches to pacman-dev, though.

[...] It might also be a good idea to write out what fields are available and their purpose on the wiki similar to the PKGBUILD page ( https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PKGBUILD) and perhaps link to it from the AUR user guidelines page? It will be forgotten by most packagers if the only information about it is a commit message and a mailing list thread.
That is what I suggested in the initial mail.
