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.
