I personally do avoid AUR cause of those disclaimers, even when the URLs in the pkgbuild check out. Really you don't actually need the AUR for any of that software, it's just a convenience tool. It's mostly installable without AUR. Microsoft fonts do look a bit complicated to set up manually though but you can copy the steps in the pkgbuild, it links to microsoft directly.I personally do avoid AUR cause of those disclaimers, even when the URLs in the pkgbuild check out.

Yes, although package maintainers on any distro are also just random people.
>In which case should they really be trusted?
Absolutely not and this is plainly written on the AUR home page. You want to make sure the pkgbuild links to a legit link like the actual github repo of the software. I still don't install AUR packages.
After the recent malware incident they might want to make the "at your own risk" part more visible. In particular, these sections from the wiki entry should probably be on the front page.
