It is pretty well documented.

- We repeatedly document the use of ssh cloning everywhere in the wiki
  page describing the submission process, and make no mention of using
  https://

- When logged into the AUR and viewing a package that you maintain, it
  lists two clone urls: https:// and ssh:// -- and right after the
  https:// link it specifies in parentheses, "read-only". Read-only
  means you cannot write to it.

- When viewing a package that you do not maintain or when not even
  logged into the AUR, only the https:// clone url is referenced, and it
  still states "read-only".

- Other websites which support pushing over https:// will require you to
  type in your username and password every time you do, which is
  unfriendly and I don't understand why anyone would ever want to do so
  in the first place if they could just use ssh.
