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?
