AUR 3.0.0 will be able to read metadata from source packages. These metadata will be read from a file called .AURINFO (contained in the source tarball). Dave wrote several tools [1], including mkaurball which can be used to automatically build a source tarball with metadata so you don't need to worry about creating this file on your own.
What is the reason that such metadata cannot be generated with `makepkg --source`? We would need to call it .METAINFO or so instead of .AURINFO, but otherwise I don't see why we need yet another tool for it.
