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.
