All right, I'm withdrawing my proposal based on Lukas' feedback and yours. Thank you both for bringing up the lack of contributor information when packages move from or to the AUR (or even outside of Arch). While I have never found a use for the maintainer and contributor lines, they may matter to some people either as recognition of their contribution or for some practical application I can't think of.
