I'd be happy if there was at least a reasonable description of .SCRINFO
on the wiki. There's a glossy version here:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#AUR_metadata

But there should be more, given that it is so important. It should have
its own page, like PKGBUILD does. And someone who knows it far better
than I should create it.
