It would be great if there was a use case described in the commit message... I am not adding more options without justification (or documentation).

The AUR requires a .SRCINFO file along with the PKGBUILD. Since AUR 4.0 will be directly git pushes instead of using source tarballs, there needs to be a way to generate the .SRCINFO files without having to make the source tarball then extract it. Currently, this is mostly done with mksrcinfo from pkgbuild-introspection from falconindy.
Out of interest, will everyone need to commit a .SRCINFO file alongside the PKGBUILD?

Yes. The server rejects any push that does not include a .SRCINFO file in each and every commit. Doug
