I am not sure meta=userinfo should have info on other
users. All
meta=... queries are about the state of the entire site as viewed from
the currently logged in user. This is cleaner and, among other things,
security is easier to maintain.
list= is much better suited for various non-current-user specific
queries. list already has allusers and usercontribs - similar to
getting user info. We could add some other list=... query to get user
contribs and other public data in bulk (for many users). Your thoughts?
This was done in r30197:
* meta=userinfo
** Getting information about new users (a relatively new feature anyway)
has been moved to list=users
NOTE: This is NOT YET LIVE on Wikimedia servers, and no one knows
exactly when it will be.
